Watering a garden would seem to be an easy job, but you can get so much more out of the task if done in the correct way. Check out our tips below to help you get the most out of this monotonous task.
Check out your soil and see if you have sandy or clay soil. This will help you figure out the drainage in the soil. Water flows easier in sandy soil, but if it’s too sandy then it can leach out too fast.
Remember that keeping the root network moist, will prevent your plants from feeling parched. Make sure to water before you mulch, as the mulch does hinder evaporation.
Also think about grouping your thirsty plants together, as then you don’t need to waste water where it’s not needed. For example herbs don’t need much water, so keeping them near a water hungry plant like a lettuce is a waste of valuable space.
