Direct the water down to the roots where plants drink.
Remember that different plants have different water needs - your local garden centre can give you the right advice to use water wisely in your garden.
Nurture your soil
Great soil is the building block of a great garden.
Healthy soils are full of nutrients for your plants and hold water longer.
Use plenty of mulch and add compost regularly- ask your local garden centre what types are best for your garden's soil and plants.
