Default Water restrictions and gardens

Here in WA water shortages have been with us since the late 1960's, and look
like continuing for a goodly while yet.

If it comes down to a choice of potable water coming from my drinking tap,
or a green lawn I sure as hell know which choice I'd make.

My 2 cents worth is that Nick adapt to the new water way of the world or go
the way of the other dinosaurs.

Flooz in a hot dry WA!

There is one thing I have noticed about water restrictions in
Melbourne. When people's lawns die out they are replaced by weeds and
large bare patches. The overall effect is to make the garden look
exceedingly bad. People just give up tending it altogether since no
matter what you do it will look bad.
