The Smart Water Fund together with the University of Melbourne has officially launched a new state-of-the-art website designed to help gardeners save water.
SmartGardenWatering.org.au is an interactive website that shows gardeners the most water efficient way to sustain their gardens.
The easy-to-use website lets gardeners create a virtual model of their garden to produce a monthly watering schedule based on plant, soil and mulch types, wind and sun exposure, average rainfall, and the type of watering technique used.
A unique feature of SmartGardenWatering.org.au allows gardeners to compare the water saving benefits of a range of watering techniques and plant options.
To access the SmartGardenWatering tool visit http://www.smartgardenwatering.org.au/.
