Preventing Over watering: Keep Your Plants Just Right 💧
Over watering can lead to root rot and other issues. Here’s how to avoid it:
1. Soil Moisture Check: Check soil moisture before watering to ensure it's necessary.
2. Proper Drainage: Ensure pots and garden beds have adequate drainage.
3. Watering Schedule: Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth.
4. Mulching: Mulch to retain soil moisture and reduce the need for frequent watering.
5. Drip Irrigation: Use drip irrigation to deliver water directly to plant roots.
Tips:
- Adjust watering frequency based on weather conditions and plant needs.
- Group plants with similar water needs together.
- Use rain barrels to collect and utilize rainwater efficiently.
