5 TOP TIPS TO SAVE WATER IN YOUR GARDEN: 1. Plant a Tree By planting 1,2 or even 3 trees in your garden it will reduce levels of C02, increase evaporation of water and help to provide areas of shade and shelter. 2. Let your lawn grow. You might not need to cut your grass as much as you think! Cutting your grass to 3 inches or longer improves lawn health & reduces water runoff. By letting your lawn grow you are also helping increase biodiversity in your garden. Look out for more ladybirds, butterflies and bees! 3. Get a water butt Capture rainwater into tanks for use around the garden. Use the collected water for watering plants, car washing or toilet flushing. A water butt is very cheap to buy, costing on average around £30 for a 200 Litre butt and saves you money on your water bills in the long run, as well as helping the environment..
