reducing wastage through evaporation or runoff. By providing a slow and steady flow of water, plants can absorb moisture more efficiently, promoting healthy growth while minimising water usage.

Another strategy for conserving water in gardens is the use of mulch. A layer of organic mulch around plants and garden beds helps retain moisture in the soil by reducing evaporation. Additionally, mulch helps to suppress weeds, which can compete with plants for water resources. This simple yet effective technique not only conserves water but also contributes to the overall health and vitality of the garden landscape.
