Wise Ways to save water around the house and garden
Save water in a number of innovative ways.
So where do you start?
I am always on the lookout for Wise Ways to save water around the house and garden.
My most popular suggestions include:
- keep a bucket in the shower to collect the water whilst you are showering
- keep a small bucket in the kitchen sink to collect the cold water before the water from the hot water tap turns hot
- mulch pot plants inside the house as well as garden beds outside the house
- gradually redesign your garden to include drought tolerant plants
- insert a two litre sealed container full of water in your full flush toilet cistern to reduce each flush by two litres (or convert to a dual flush cistern)
- use a bucket of water rather than a hose to wash your car (even if there are no water restrictions).
Save water in every way you can.
