HOW MUCH WATERING SHOULD WE BE DOING NOW?
ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION!
In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru talked about how often we should be watering our plants during the summer heat?
Lynn said that customers ask that question often and that there in not ONE answer for that! He explained that as a plant absorbs water, there’s a process called transpiration, meaning the roots absorb the moisture and it travels through the vascular system of the plant and then it’s lost through the leaf with transpiration! So when it’s hot and dry and windy … that increases the transpiration and then it’s termed “evapotranspiration”.
Listen to the Garden Guru’s tip and find out why you should water thoroughly – when you water – and then let your plants dry out between each watering?
