Check your soil by digging a spadeful of earth near the plant – only water if the earth is dry at the bottom of the hole.

Compost

61 Get composting: Instead of throwing away all your garden waste, vegetable peelings, paper, and cardboard, compost them.

62 Build up the organic content of your soil by using plenty of manure and compost. This will increase its ability to retain moisture.

63 Plant vegetables close together. This will shade the soil and reduce moisture loss.
