A big
consideration when gardening in Portugal is the source
of your water to irrigate your garden. In Portugal water
is valuable commodity and if you don't have access to a
natural water source then your older Portuguese
neighbours will worry for you about the cost of keeping
the garden green.
Mains
water in Portugal is charged out by the cubic metre and
during the height of summer your garden will be thirsty
and could cost hundreds of Euros to keep it looking in
tip top condition, especially if you have laid a lot to
lawn.
Purchasing a property with a natural water source such
as a spring, font or well is an added bonus if you enjoy
gardening and wish to make your own garden of Eden or if
you wish to be self-sufficient growing fruit and
vegetables. Having a natural water source on your land
is also a good way to keeping costs to a minimum.
