Mulching of the garden and borders occurs every four months to reduce evaporation and to bear plants with nitrogen and conserve water. Over 282 bamboo plants have been planted over the final five years. Recent research shows that one adult bamboo plant has the ability to absorb 0.5 tons of Co2 annually. Sunk to a depth of 100 meters, the bore provides for offer and hopefully tomorrow water requirements for the garden and ponds.
