In a dry British summer, gardeners dread a hosepipe ban, and the thumbnail puts that worry front and centre. Alan, a face most British gardeners know, is still happily spraying away. The title hints at a watering secret, so you click to find it.
'Every Gardener Should Know' makes it feel like basic knowledge you'd be foolish to miss, and 'Smart' promises a cleverer method rather than simply using less water.
Alan spraying water right under a question about a ban is a cheeky touch, and that calm smile suggests the answer will be reassuring rather than alarming.
When a seasonal problem is in the news, put it as a short question on the thumbnail and show yourself calmly doing the thing it threatens. Let the title promise the smarter method.
