Watering Your Garden
Watering your garden should never be thought of as a chore. It should be thought of as a therapeutic pause on what could have been a busy day or just not a great day in general.
Container Pot
After transplant always fill your pot and get a 20% run off of grey water. After a couple of days put your finger in the soil one knuckle deep. It the soil is dry it is time to water your plants.
Outdoor
Depending on the farming technique used, your watering style and concentration will have many different variables. Here are a few tips on how to keep your outdoor garden under control.
- Heavy heat in the area use companion crops and cover crops to shield the delicate nitrogen bearing ground plants.
