Pile on the Mulch!
Saving water in your garden translates to saving money on your water bill. Here's a simple tip to have a beautiful yard while saving water, money, and time ✔️
Mulching around plants is a great way to reduce water loss and cut down on water-stealing weeds. Natural mulches include compost, bark chips, and pine straw.
One of the simplest ways to nourish your lawn is to leave your grass clippings on the lawn and use some to spread on flower and vegetable gardens. Consider installing a mulching blade on your lawnmower, if it's not equipped with one already.
