Each week I discuss the latest on the plots including
- Being on call and gardening at the same time
- Vermin in the garden?

And much more.
Efficient watering.
Water is such a valuable resource. I often moan about how we undervalue this resource. In this episode, I discuss the methods I have developed to make the most of water.
The key points that I have found for these are
- collect as much rainwater as possible
- water at the roots of plants
- water what is needed and when needed
- mulch, mulch and mulch.
I mention a watering system I am looking into. Until I have saved up for this I am not recommending this piece of kit but should it be of interest to you the link is here.
