Australia is in the grip of the worst drought in 100 years in most parts of the country. For example, from next week Brisbane (about 600 kms south of here) residents will only be allowed to water their gardens with a bucket.
Last year with input from some friends across Australia, I put together an article for "Orchids Australia" with tips on how to save water usage, including on watering our precious orchids. The article has since been modified for a wider audience and has been published on our website: www.orchidsaustralia.com Click on "ConneXions", then "Selected Articles" from the drop down menu. The article is titled "Be Water Wise".
If you are in an area which is has water problems, you might find some handy tips in the article.
