CHARLIE ALBONE TING TIPS ON HOW TO CONSERVE WATER IN THE GARDEN

- 

Water is a vital part of having a garden and when the weather heats up you need a multi-pronged solution for saving as much as possible.

Here's how...

START WITH SOIL

Start by improving your soil through adding compost and rotted manures. This is the best thing you can do foryour garden as this organic matter helps to bind the soil together creating a good structure and biodiversity. This will also boost its water-holding capacity and create healthy, more drought-resistant plants.

ADD A WETTING AGENT

Applying a soil-wetting agent to the ground is also good practice. It allows water to penetrate into the soil more effectively as well as reducing run off.
