How to save water in your garden! Even if it’s raining outside, many parts of the UK and other countries don’t have enough rain in the summer. Here are easy ways of minimising the use of water in the garden. And if you have a water meter, you’ll save money, too.
Including advice from Australian horticulturalist and broadcaster Stephen Ryan, whose Dicksonia Rare Plants nursery is near Melbourne. See: http://stephenryan.com.au/nursery/

Very useful tips indeed…every little bit from everyone helps the environment…
Tqtq for sharing…💝
Very helpful, thank you! 💚
When we lived on Magnetic Island we installed a wonderful irrigation system unfortunately we don't have one here.
YOu can get double outlet garden taps and put a battery-operated timer on one feed for regular irrigation and use the other tap for filling cans or attaching a hose – https://www.amazon.co.uk/GARDEN-INDUSTRIAL-WATER-LEVER-VALVE/dp/B0716Y3XR8
Wonderful and helpful 💕
Mulch is a must where we live. I’m happy the home centers put wood chip mulch on sale for practically every holiday throughout the spring and summer.
This is a timely topic. Although we get a lot of rain in the Carolinas we can also get dry periods. In any case Greenville is famous for clean water 💦 and it is important to keep it that way with proper filtration from polyculture plantings and the wise use of mulches. Rain gardens are important and we’re eager to learn more about them. 🌾🌻
Great tips. Water catchment is regulated where I live because of veteran water rights, so our ability to catch too much is limited. However, we can collect some which is helpful.
Very nice channel, thank you.
How about using drip or ollas?
