How to green your garden
It's summertime again, and for some people there's no better way to kill an afternoon than to spend time in the garden. Flowers, plants, animals, sun, you've got it all! But when you're in your garden, you should do your best to help keep it green. Here are some tips.
Water in the morning. "Like it or not, some of the water meant for your plants will evaporate before it reaches the soil. This is compounded on a hot day. Watering in (or setting your sprinkler timer for) the morning can save 50 gallons of water a week".
Reuse your pots. "Plants die, but pots rarely do. Save the pot and soil if one of your plants expires. You can even create your own pots by drilling a hole in old butter containers or flipping over a drum. If a pot breaks, you can usually glue it back together with no loss of quality".
