Start a vegetable garden

Replace (some of) the tiles in your garden with a vegetable garden. You can grow your own food and the water will sink into the soil, so it doesn't need to be drained into the sewer. With a well-designed vegetable garden, you will also have fewer problems with weeds and pests. The use of harmful chemical pesticides is then unnecessary. Crop rotation and the use of natural enemies prevent pests and diseases. A vegetable garden is fun, educational, and delicious too.

Difficulty

Flooding and drought
