Watering

Mulch is really helpful in times like these. Luckily I mulched a lot of beds and pots earlier in the year when grass clippings were plentiful. Now the lawn isn't growing very much we're using wool (the stuff they insulate food deliveries with), comfrey and old coir mats which were bottom of hanging baskets. It's amazing how much of a difference even an inch of mulch can make, the soil under the coir mat is still damp and it was last watered over a week ago.
