Dont run out of water, when the going gets hot!

Watering the garden allows for 20-40 per cent of a household's water use, and typically areas bring in some sort of water restriction when temperatures soar. But, there's lots more to saving water in the garden than limiting your watering. By using Rain collection systems we can save water and make sure we don't get fleeced by our local water supplier, for providing their tainted over chlorenated flow that we have to pay through the teeth for because of water shortages that are more than likely because of their poor maintenance of piping and mismanagement of water supply.

Water vessels are a fantastic way of storing small quantities of water for use in household gardens. Though, to fully harvest the benefits of the large quantities of water that runs off your roof during a storm, a professionally designed rainwater collection system should be considered. Rainwater collection systems in the United Kingdom are primarily used for WC flushing and for watering the garden. However more sophisticated rainwater collection systems can be used to provide water for domestic appliances. By capturing rainwater it provides for times of water shortage, it lets you water vegetables and plants in your garden. You even have the perfect catcher of water, just go outside and look at your roof it's a huge surface area enabling you to capture the drops that hit it into a large storage unit rainwater has a far greater advantage over tap water. It is one of the cleanest sources of water offered providing it is not influenced by where it falls from local industrial emission.

You can also use simple techniques like mulching grass cuttings, leaves, bark or straw etc to build up a covering that will keep the moisture in the soil and in itself (another good motive for using organic substance as a compost in your soil as it increases its water retention. Mulch is like a coating on the soil. It keeps the soil cool and it reduces evaporation because the soil is not exposed to dry air and drying winds.
