Save time watering the garden

Watering can take up a lot of time in summer. Here are three ways to save time and get more water to the roots.
- Mulch the soil
Spread a layer of bark around plants to slow evaporation, so you won’t have to water as often.
- Sink a pot beside a thirsty plant
Bury an empty pot with drainage holes next to the plant. Pour water into the pot so it reaches the roots.
- Make a shallow dip
Shape the soil around the base into a shallow basin so the water has time to soak in where it’s needed.
