Water, water, everywhere:
We should all be doing our best to reduce the amount of water we use in our homes and gardens and maintain moisture levels in soils.
Fit a nozzle on your hosepipe so you can control how much you use
Grey water (such as dishwater or water from washing vegetables) can be used to water plants as long as it’s allowed to cool, contains no chemicals and isn’t used on plants you intend to eat!
Collect rainwater in a water butt
Using a soil conditioner or home made compost aids moisture retention
Choose plants which like dry conditions, such as grasses, herbs and succulents
