Here's a few more quick tips to conserve water while gardening:
- If you're using a garden hose, attach a shut-off device at the end of the hose so water doesn't continuously flow.
- repair hose leaks, or if they're totally unrepairable, consider getting a new hose. I think rubber hoses are more durable.
- consider using a soaker hose versus using a sprinkler if you already have a water system. This helps lessen water evaporation and ensures that your plants get their fill of water.
Does anyone have water rationing in their areas?
