Why is a rain gauge indispensable in the garden?

The changeable Danish weather can make it difficult to judge whether your plants have had enough rain or if you need to get the garden hose out. A rain gauge tells you exactly how many millimetres of water the garden has received over the past 24 hours.

• Prevent drying out: Keep an eye on whether the garden’s shrubs and delicate ground-covering flowers have had enough moisture during dry spells.
