When I plant a garden for someone, I often get asked a very good question. “How should I go about watering?”
I like to picture the whole root ball. I try to fully saturate the entire root system, and then give it enough time to dry out before watering again.
-If the plants are really young or newly planted, I won’t let them completely dry out between waterings.-
To encourage your plants to be more self-sufficient and have a larger root system, it is good to eventually try to back off of watering. This encourages the roots to grow farther out to search for water.
A self sufficient plants is less work for you and more water saved! 💦💪🏼
