As experienced gardeners know, one of the simplest ways to conserve water in summer is to water your plants, garden, or vegetable patch in the evening.
This takes advantage of cooler temperatures, minimizing evaporation that occurs during the day's intense heat.
Focus on the least hot hours to avoid waste. Daytime watering can also harm leaves through evaporation, causing burns and reducing plant vitality. No more excuses—time your watering right!
Evening watering in summer can cut your water use in half. For a 300 square meter garden, that's a savings of nearly 150 euros per year.
It's an easy habit that delivers real results. Note: In fall and spring, water in the morning to prevent frost damage.
