With the heat wave thats hittibg my country I was watering my back yard today, and began wondering if there Is such a thing as wasting water when doing so… I mean, it re-enters the water cycle, doesn’t It? Besides if its absorbed by the plants AND grass … Is It really wasted?

I get your thought process, to reduce the amount of water you will be amazed what mulching will do. Get some wood chips/bark and put that in your beds. The bark acts as a thermal barrier in the winter and a moisture barrier in the summer. Once in, even on the hottest days you will find that the soil is still moist. Really helps the roots of your plants. I am not a massive greenfinger type gardener but really do recommend this as I am very big on saving the environment and local resources.
