These few tips will help you conserve water in the garden.
- Incorporate organic matter into your soil to help retain water in the soil.
- After the soil has warmed and the plants are planted, keep an organic mulch of 1 to 3 inches on the garden to prevent evaporation and keep the soil from getting too warm.
- Water early in the morning so the water will sink in without evaporating.
- Use drip irrigation so that the water goes right to the roots where it is needed. Never water anything overhead except the lawn.
