Hello, thank you for being here! Thank you for choosing the article “Summer watering of plants: rules and tips” on this site!
If you want to grow beautiful flowers in a flower bed or lawn grass, then you should read this information. Here’s a quick summary of what you need to consider.
How to properly water plants
In the summer, water the plants abundantly, and not a little every day, once every two to three days will be enough. With abundant watering, water penetrates deep into the soil, and even on a hot day, plants do not experience a lack of it. The main thing is regularity!
If you water it a little, a crust will form on the soil, and oxygen penetration to the root system will be insufficient.
When and how to water
If we talk about a good time to water, this is early morning or evening. However, it should be noted that vegetable crops have their own rules. During the day, plants are exposed to the sun’s rays, and droplets on the leaves can turn into lenses. This leads to plant burns or death.
Two methods of watering are popular with gardeners: trickle and groove. Watering plants abundantly from a watering can is at the very beginning of their development, then it is advisable to use a thin stream, which will allow the soil not to erode.
The method of irrigation in the grooves requires preparation, grooves are made in the aisles, and water is poured into them. This allows the soil to be moistened evenly.
It is worth considering the choice of water carefully:
- water supply (from a centralized water supply system) contains a lot of chlorine;
- from the well – hard;
- from a well – cold, as a result, before watering it will need to be warmed up in the sun;
- rainwater is best, which in all respects is suitable for plants.
If you have a desire to reduce the labor intensity of irrigation, then it is worth installing a modern automatic system. Thanks to the preset program, it maintains an optimal level of soil moisture. This will save more time for relaxation in the country or in a suburban area.
