Conserve precious water with rainwater harvesting

Water conservation is essential, so install a water butt on every downpipe – you can choose weathered oak barrels or the standard green plastic tubs. If you have space, consider an underground rain tank.

Larger ones can easily collect enough water for the average garden, plus you can set them up to flush your WC. Clever cost-cutting irrigation helps too. Don’t use a sprinkler on the garden – water the roots of plants without wasting it on the leaves (automated watering systems are useful here); Use large pots for plants as they don’t dry out as quickly.

Use mulch on beds to reduce water loss through evaporation, as all of these choices in a garden can make a big difference in helping conserve to our planet's precious resources.
