Install a water butt Water butts are a large container that sits in your garden and collects rainwater. This water can then be used to water plants, top up ponds or water features and wash the patio and other garden furniture. The natural outdoor water could help you save money on your water bills as you are less likely to use a hose during the summer months. 2. Use solar powered or LED lighting Solar powered lights get their energy from the sunlight in the day so they can illuminate your garden at night. They're easy to install and are a great choice for keeping electricity bills low. LED lights are another option that are long lasting and energy efficient. 3. Grow your own salad and vegetables Growing your own salad and vegetables will not only save you money but it can also feel really rewarding. Things like lettuce, radishes, and spinach are all fairly easy to grow. 4. Upcycle waste and rubbish Get creative and start upcycling items instead of throwing them away. Use sticks from ice lollies as plant tags or turn old watering cans and wheelbarrows into planters instead of buying new pots. Once you get creative the ways to upcycle are endless. 5. Start composting Start composting your kitchen scraps like vegetable peelings and coffee grounds and combine them with garden waste such as leaves and grass clippings to create a nutrient rich compost. This could reduce your need to spend money on expensive fertilisers. One shopper raved: 'I got the hot air balloons online last week — they look so good with how they flicker.' Another said: 'I've got all the different balloon ones and my garden looks like a balloon festival now. Looks amazing at night and well worth the money.' A third happy customer added: 'Finally found these in my local — so happy xx.' But not everyone was impressed. One shopper warned: 'I got the starburst ones and they only worked for two days then they stopped lifting up.' Another said: 'Be careful with the hot air balloon ones — I bought some, opened it, and it came apart in my hands.' It's always worth shopping around when buying garden gear as you might find a cheaper alternative elsewhere.
