In this special Waterwise edition of Backyard, you can learn about the different types of soils, all sorts of water reduction techniques — from greywater to tanks, composting and water crystals — and dry-tolerant plant selection, plus general drought-proofing hints and tips from TV’s Charlie Albone.

It’s not all education and no play, though. We haven’t skimped on inspirational gardens, with more than 40 pages of gorgeous designs to inspire you as well as news, book releases and all sorts of products to help you create your perfect backyard space.
