Watering your garden efficiently
One point worth remembering about plants is that it is through their roots they get their food, well at least most of them. You do not need to spray water on their leaves. It is not only a waste of effort but also water is wasted in the process. Creating your own irrigation system in your backyard is also a good idea instead of relying on sprinklers. Unless of course it is your lawn that you are watering, you may use a sprinkler since it would be difficult to establish an irrigation system for the grass. Water your plants either in the early morning or late afternoon to maximize the water because if you do it on midday, the water evaporates faster.
