  Reader Janet Maynard has a lot of young bushes in her garden and is suffering from “watering can elbow”.So for Janet and anyone else who doesn't want to waste time, effort and water, here are my top tips for keeping plants refreshed in thirsty times.

  Water in the evening if possible, rather than leaving it till you see things suffer.That way the roots can take up the water in cool soil overnight.

  Violently jetting hoses(皮管)mess up the soil structure and may expose delicate roots.Use a rose(喷头)on a can.Aim low – don't waste water wetting leaves, even though they look pretty and "refreshed".

  The most valuable and easily damaged plants need the most attention, such as newly planted trees, bushes and climbers.Remove any water-keeping mulch(护根物)you may have put around the base, then water it thoroughly at least two gallons, slowly.Don't aim your can rose at the stem – which we all usually tend to do.Aim the water in a wide circle so that the whole of the area under the plant is watered.You could even make a channel in the soil right around the plant so that the water is held in place as it soaks(浸透)in.Replace the mulch.Repeat each week even in showery weather for the first summer.

  How much water for pots? Fill up the gap between the top of the soil and the top of the pot.Let the water soak right in and then fill it again.Do this daily in hot weather for most summer potted plants.

  Stand pots in saucers(垫盘)– it makes a big difference.But remember to check that the plants are not sitting in water for days on end when the weather turns wet.Roots will rot.

  If the fertilizer in pots really dries out, the water may get straight out of the pot without being absorbed.Correct this by standing or floating the pot in a bucket of deep water until it sinks and no bubbles rise.

  A push-button watering can makes for more efficient watering, and recycled water bottles upside down with a needle which has a hole on the end are useful, too, for pots.

  Don't you just love ice skating every winter? I am sure, that since winter is approaching, your skates are set to come out, just waiting to be used.Impress your friends with your new trick on how to ice -skate backwards with the help of these tips.Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic, there' s nothing like it.Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time.

  Stand Straight

  The first thing that you need to do is, stand straight.If you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees.Don't worry; this happens to all.

  Confidence is What You Need

  The most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing.How can you achieve this? By practice.Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slop every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort.But before you do that, make sure that the place where you are practicing is free from any kind of debris(碎片)because otherwise, you could land up in the hospital due to some accident.While going backwards, just get used to the feeling of moving backwards.One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance, then scissor(做剪式运动)your skates.Keep practicing this till you are confident about it.

  Maintain Speed

  Confident now? Great! Now the next step is to maintain your speed.While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling(滑浆), that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke(滑动).Now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process.Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling.Now, try the same thing using the other foot.Again keep doing this till you are confident enough.

  Increase Your Speed Now

  Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to A)is increase your speed.Try some of your own tricks now.Scull with either foot or with both at the same time.

  Scull and Be Aware

  While you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other.You can do that simultaneously(同时,一起)with both feet.Concentrate on what you are doing but don't get so involved that you don't see where you are going.If you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone.
