Did You Know

Water for longer but less often


Watering a level garden for longer, but less often, promotes deeper roots and hardier, healthier, drought tolerant plants.

Remember to only use a hand-held hose or watering can or install drip irrigation.

(About 12 millimetres of water an hour is enough for most sessions.)
