For gardening, the suggestion here is to aim at plants indigenous to your location (as in, within a 20km radius). For obvious reasons, they're often best suited to both the climate (especially rainfall) and the soil, often reducing or negating the necessity of "enhancing" either. Good mulch helps reduce water usage as well. Our nature strip is now all mulch, with some plants added near the larger garden area in front of the fence. No more mowing!
