Survey Update 2!

Another day, another five responses! Here's the new situation:

Well, some trends are emerging! It seems that most of my gardeners prefer flowering plants, watering by hand, using tap water and planting plants with unknown origins. While the flower and unknown origin parts aren't great, the tap water and watering by hand aren't terrible news. They could be better, yes, but they could be worse.

The results that worry me the most are the amount of irrigation and the origin of the plants. Plants should be watered once a week or so, according to my research from Step 1, and so the fact that only 22.2% of the surveyed answered with that is alarming. Also, native plants are the best for water consumption, but only 1 respondent answered with that (at least on its own. That's not great. Although, when it comes to the largest group not knowing the origin of their plants, I can't fault them on that.

It's not all bad news, though! The majority of people said they took a good amount of consideration in water conservation, and the largest group in the time of irrigation question said they watered their plants in the early morning. Early morning is the best time to irrigate plants, and being conscious of the environment is always fantastic. Though I do have to say, compared with the first question and the other six, I'm not sure if the respondents are as conscious of water conservation as they claim to be.

We'll just have to see when more results come in!
