Xeriscaping

Die Kunst, eine Landschaft zu schaffen mit dem Ziel, den Wasserverbrauch zu reduzieren, heißt Xeriscaping. Pflanzen, die wenig oder keine Bewässerung benötigen oder solche, die Dürren überleben können, werden ausgewählt.

Kulturelle Praktiken wie Bodenvorbereitung und Mulchen werden auch im Xeriscaping häufig eingesetzt.

Xeriscaping bedeutet NICHT, kein Wasser in der Landschaft zu verwenden. Es beinhaltet die kontrollierte Nutzung von Wasser; mit anderen Worten, die Bemühungen, die Wassermenge zu reduzieren, die Hausbesitzer zusätzlich zu den typischen Regenfällen benötigen.

Viele Pflanzen, die Trockenheit tolerieren, tolerieren auch Hochwasserbedingungen. In dieser Liste sind Box Holunder und Pekannüsse enthalten. Viele trockenheitstolerante Bäume und Sträucher sind jedoch möglicherweise für Heimgärten nicht praktikabel. Ein sorgfältiges Studium und Lesen von Xeriscaping-Büchern ist unerlässlich.
