Water conservation in the garden

Consider all year round water management in your place and its  efficiency. Winter water collection and grey water reuse technologies can be designed into the garden base plan and  so reduce usage of mains water

Reduce need for additional watering by not disturbing soil or digging during hot summer months. Any newly planted plant needs more water to assist on settling and rooting in so do new planting  in the autumn

Reduce evaporation - no dig gardening or deep mulching and composting protects surface of soil from drying out in hot months

Remove weeds from plants surrounding to not to compete for the water
