Caring for your plants
Water plants in the early morning or evening when it is cooler and less water is lost to evaporation.
Apply mulch around plants to conserve water and reduce evaporation. Weeding also helps. Used tea leaves or bags make a good mulch.

Give plants a good soaking once or twice a week in dry weather rather than light daily watering. Find out more.
