Watering
- Fit your garden hose with a trigger spray system or use a watering can to reduce your water usage. A spray system uses much less water than using an ordinary hose; it also saves you time, which equals more time spent enjoying your garden!
- Water your plants in the evening. Watering at this time reduces water evaporation during the day, which ensures that the maximum amount of water goes to the plant, not the air.
- Watch the weather. If you pay attention to your weather forecasts, you’ll know if rain is coming. By depending on nature to water your garden, you’ll save yourself time and water.
- Collect water for your garden in a water butt, these vary in price and size. You can make your own, or purchase one from your local DIY store.
