Drip Irrigation: Setting up a simple drip irrigation system ensures plants receive water efficiently, cutting down on manual watering.
Native Planting: Choosing plants that naturally thrive in the UK climate means less fuss and greater resilience.
Ground Cover Plants: Plants like creeping thyme and clover reduce weed growth and remove the need for constant mowing or weeding.
