Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: Water your plants first thing in the morning or late in the evening.
Soil retains moisture better when the temperatures are cooler so you’ll use less water if you avoid watering them in the heat of the day.
And my favorite green pin this week is how to clean fruit and make it sparkling clean: fill sink with water, add 1 C. vinegar, mix. Add all fruit and soak for 10 minutess. Water will be dirty and fruit will sparkle with no wax or dirty film.
