Mastering the Art of Watering Your Garden

Proper watering is essential for a thriving garden.

Here are some key tips to ensure your plants stay healthy and vibrant:​

Water Deeply, Not Frequently: Encourage deep root growth by watering thoroughly once or twice a week, rather than daily light sprinklings.​

Morning is Best: Watering in the early morning reduces evaporation and allows foliage to dry, minimizing disease risk.​

Know Your Plants: Vegetable gardens typically need about one inch of water per week. Container plants may require water equivalent to 10% of the container's volume.​

Monitor Soil Moisture: Adjust your watering schedule based on soil type, plant needs, and weather conditions.​

Use the Right Tools: Employ watering cans, hoses with nozzles, drip irrigation systems, or sprinklers as appropriate for your garden's size and plant types.​
