Water saving tips for your garden

Your garden can survive with very little water if you           Improve your soil
follow a few simple practices.
                                                                Your soil acts as a reservoir for water, keeping your plants
                                                                alive. It can store a lot more water if it includes plenty of
Use mulch                                                       organic matter. Add plenty of compost, mulch or manure
                                                                whenever you can.
Using mulch liberally and regularly helps to retain soil
moisture. It does this by reducing evaporation, restricting     Wetting agents allow water to easily soak into the soil, which
weed growth, and improving soil structure as it breaks down.    may help if your soil has difficulty absorbing water.
It also improves plant growth by providing insulation for
plant roots.
There are many different types of mulch to choose from.
Organic mulch, such as sugar cane mulch or pine bark, will
decompose over time and help improve your soil.
Use a layer of mulch over the surface of your garden soil.
Organic mulch should be re-applied frequently, preferably in
autumn and spring, to replace the broken-down mulch.

                                                                Water only when your garden or lawn needs it—for example,
                                                                when plants are showing signs of stress or the soil is dry.
                                                                Apply enough water to replenish the soil profile, ensuring the
                                                                amount is adequate to reach the plant root zones. Thorough
                                                                but infrequent watering encourages plants to develop deeper
                                                                root systems, giving them inbuilt drought protection. This
                                                                works for lawns as well as for garden plants.
                                                                Watch the weather. Rainfall is a free and easy way to water
                                                                your garden. Be aware of your local water restrictions and
                                                                water only when allowed.
