May 2012

The hosepipe ban will have an impact on how we manage the garden during the coming months. We are reviewing our water consumption and planning for the future.

We are choosing plants for this summer and beyond to minimise our water use

We are collecting rainwater where possible

As part of the on-going improvements to the nursery area we intend to introduce a ground level drip irrigation system

We are allowed to use a hosepipe for some of our watering and the Tuesday group will also be making good use of watering cans!
