Steve Wratten is a SMART water user in the Selwyn DistrictÂ
Why?
- Steve has three different spots for growing his plants- two that are covered to ensure protection from the wind and one uncovered veggie patch
- He uses trickle irrigation where water is released every 60cm and releases water precisely where the plant is
- Steve uses a timer and sets it for about 20 minutes, only turning the tap on at cool periods of the day
- Pea straw is the choice of mulch for Steve in his outside garden
