Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my plants need water?
Stick your finger 1-2 inches into the soil. If it feels dry, it's time to water. Wilting leaves can also indicate thirst, but check soil first.
Is it better to water in the morning or evening?
Morning is best - it allows foliage to dry during the day, reducing disease risk. Evening watering can promote fungal growth.
How much water do plants need?
Most gardens need 1-2 inches of water per week. Deep, infrequent watering encourages deeper root growth than frequent shallow watering.
Should I water every day in summer?
Not necessarily. Deep watering every 2-3 days is often better than daily shallow watering. Container plants may need daily watering in hot weather.
