Watering

Without it we perish – and so do our gardens. Water is the stuff of life, but like all valuable assets it needs to be carefully managed to avoid wastage and to make sure we get the most out of it.

You’ll know from a glance at your bill that as a commodity water is not cheap, so in terms of economy you’ll need to prioritise its use in the garden, reserving it for those plants that really need it, and not squandering it on those that will survive dry spells perfectly well without your watering can or hosepipe.

With a few you’ll be able to make sure your water supply is directed to those plants that will really benefit. And to avoid using mains water as as you can. Giving this to your plants will help to make this valuable resource go further.
