| | | | | | | | | | | | Step 7 | | Water Smart | | Even drought-tolerant plants need regular watering the first year to help them become established. So be good to your new garden and keep it well watered. But don't go overboard and irrigate your plants every day. Most varieties do best when they're watered deeply but infrequently. And be sure to save water by letting the hose run slowly to avoid runoff. | | Money-Saving Tip: | Keeping your garden watered doesn't have to cost you a fortune in water bills. Use a rain barrel to collect free rainwater to use on your yard. Get more tips and test how water-wise your garden is from our fun online quiz! | | | | | | | | |
