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.
Last summer during the heatwave the BBC host shared that a bowl of washing up water is perfectly good on floral plants. As reported by Birmingham Live, he said: “I’m clutching a bowl of washing up water - grey water - because in the very dry conditions we've had you need to use whatever water you can.
“Grey water, whether it's a washing dishes or yourself, is perfectly good on floral plants. Don't use it on edible food."
