Tips for August

Dont forget the garden if you are off on holiday. Arrange for someone to check the hanging baskets, veg and greenhouse whilst you are away.

Water in the evening, with "grey" water from the washing up and even bath water if you can.

Install some leaky pipe ( provided you are not on a hosepipe ban). If you are lucky enough to live near one, an horticultural supplier is much cheaper than a Garden Centre or DIY store.

Start trimming hedges.
