BBC Gardeners World star Monty Don has shared his top tips on how to water plants
Monty Don has shared advice on how to water your plants to reduce water now that there is a hosepipe ban. The gardening expert, who appears on BBC Gardeners World, has advised fans not to get rid of old sink water.
“Grey water, whether it's a washing dishes or yourself, is perfectly good on floral plants. Don't use it on edible food."Monty added: “Let it cool down of course, and I've got it here for this clematis.” He continued: “But because it's a young plant, it means that its root system is fairly small. So, therefore, it's not able to access the moisture that might be deeper down in the soil, so I'm having to make sure it is really well-watered.
Although there are some exemptions, such as for people with disabilities,but, for most people, watering their garden, washing their car or filling up a paddling pool is now prohibited and those breaching the restrictions could face a fine of up to £1,000.
