On-site composting returns organic matter to the gardens, while low-drip irrigation and collected rainwater support a more considered approach to water use.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During Tuscany\u2019s hot, dry summer, careful water management becomes especially important.
