Tips:
1) Mulch helps conserve moisture in the garden bed. Mulch is any kind of material that covers all exposed soil. It helps moderate the temperature of the soil, conserves moisture, and helps suppress weed growth.
2) Soaker hoses reduce water wastage and ensure deep watering to the roots. A soaker hose is a hose with little perforations in it. When it is turned on, water steadily drips out.
3) Many bugs are beneficial to your garden; they aerate soil, pollinate plants, increase fertility, and prey on nuisance pests
