This word, originally a trademark of the Denver, Colorado Water Department, comes from the Greek "xeros," meaning dry. Water -smart landscap_ 'ng is a matter of choosing plants that will thrive under given conditions, and grouping them to- gether. As you study your yard, divide it into wa- ter use zones. Where does the sun shine and for how long each day? What kind of soil do you have and how does it drain? In xeriscaping, the "oasis" zone is closest to the house and hardscaped areas. The oasis should be the smallest zone, since it will require more fre- quent watering and maintenance, particularly if it is on a sunny side. A simple way to reduce the amount of lawn care and water use is to increase shade. Doing so will also cool your house by as much as 50%• In addi- tion, trees serve as windbreaks and shield homes from snow, lowering heating costs as much as 30%. Dozens of colorful flowers, shrubs, and attractive ground covers are available to complete your land- scaping in low-water and low -maintenance species. More Outdoor Water Saving Tips. Sweep driveways, sidewalks, and steps rather than hosing off. Wash the car with water from a bucket, or con- sider using a commercial car wash that recycles water. When using a hose, control the flow with an automatic shut-off nozzle. Avoid purchasing recreational water toys that require a constant stream of water. If you have a swimming pool, consider a new water -saving pool filter. Lower pool water level to reduce amount of water splashed out. Use a pool cover to reduce evaporation when Pool is not being used Using manure or compost rather than a commer- cial fertilizer helps avoid sometimes unnecessary additions of both herbicides and pesticides, which kill worms and other beneficial organisms. Quali- fied personnel can prescribe the right fertilizer for your lawn.
