Watering in dry times
Keeping your garden alive and looking good in dry times can be a challenge, especially in drought years like we have experienced in Orange. In this workshop, we will introduce fellow gardeners to a few ideas that can help them maintain their gardens including, spray versus drip irrigation, getting the water right down to the roots of plants, what a layer mulch can do and the importance of garden design.
