Gardening Tips
- Regularly check your outside spigots and garden hoses for leaks.
- When watering plants, direct water to the root zone using a watering wand, drip irrigation, or soaker hose.
- Water your lawn or garden during the early morning or evening hours to prevent evaporation.
- Install rain barrels to collect and store rainwater for watering.
