Water lawns and gardens in the cooler part of the day. Hand watering, drip watering or soaker hoses use far less water than sprinkler systems. If you do use a sprinkler system, adjust the timing daily to account for weather conditions. Mulching gardens and borders helps the soil retain water and reduces watering requirements.
