Benefits of a low-maintenance garden

With adjustments to your existing plot, or strategic planning when building from scratch, you can enjoy a beautiful garden even if you have little time or energy to look after it. Most high-maintenance lawn or plants have low-maintenance alternatives, and many routine watering jobs can be omitted altogether.

How much time do you have?

First think about, when choosing the watering device, how often you will have time to take care of your
garden.

Weekends --- If you have a few hours at the weekend, you may only have time to mow the lawn, do a little deadheading and tidying, and perhaps some hand-weeding, hoeing or hedge-trimming. Drought-tolerant shrubs and flowers in pots will tolerate weekly watering manually by AquaLean hand sprays.



Once a month --- Lawns are not a good idea if you can only tackle gardening tasks once a month. Instead, replace them with paving, decking, or gravel. Reduce deadheading and pruning with a selection of easy-care plants, and install an automatic watering system such as the sprinklers and micro sprays controlled by timers on AquaLean website.
A few times a year --- Gardening only once in a while restricts your options, so choose a combination of low-maintenance plants and hard landscaping. You can then limit jobs to tidying borders, cutting back old growth on perennials in late winter, occasionally pruning overgrown trees and shrubs, and bear in mind to drain the water out from the watering pipes and devices before the winter time.



As a result, to fit pots with automatic irrigation by selecting an easy installed and programmed timers
as well as proper sprinklers  and micro drippers as suggested in AquaLean website to cut down your time and effort for watering while the garden has been established.
