Water Harvesting Poster Series

Each approach emphasises using organic matter to improve soil health, retain moisture, and reduce the need for frequent watering. These methods are designed to optimise water usage, enhance productivity, and create resilient, low-maintenance gardening systems suited for dry environments.
