Xeriscapes Offer Water Wise Gardening For Summer
In Quay County and eastern New Mexico plains, lawns give way to xeriscape plantings to save water. Native and adapted species like desert willow red yuccas salvias and lantanas reduce turf by 25 percent and promote drip irrigation to cut costs. A weekly summer watering with drip systems plus mulching and soil composting helps conserve water and money. New Mexico State University promotes these practices as an equal opportunity employer.
