Appropriate Maintenance/Irrigation

Water plants when they need water, and when watering, water deeply. This will encourage deeply
rooted plants that will need minimal supplemental watering. Watering early in the morning, before
the heat of the day, will help to conserve irrigation of water. The grouping of plants according
to their water needs will also help to conserve water. The majority of plants in a wildlife garden
are typically perennials. Once they are established after the first year of being planted they tend not
to need water regularly like you would water annuals. So, in short, after your garden has become
established, your watering days will be minimal(note that I did not say OVER :) ), but perennials require
much less than annuals.
