Water roots, not leaves Water leaves just increases water loss through evaporation. Water the roots instead. Water less frequently Give your garden a good watering twice a week. This encourages roots to spread deeper. When mowing, don't cut the grass shorter than 2.5 cm to protect it from the burning sun.
Group plants into high and low water users.
Windbreaks also reduce the drying effects of the wind. Mulch more Mulching around your plants and trees keeps the moisture in the soil longer. That means less watering. Water early Avoid watering during the heat of the day. Water can evaporate before it reaches the roots.
