Irrigation and Watering

Obviously gardens require water. There are no plants that can survive without it and most gardens contain plants that require abundant amounts of water daily – and sometimes more than once a day depending on weather conditions. Intense heat and real dry weather conditions can literally require watering more than once a day for optimal health. Along with weeding, watering is among the single most important roles a gardener plays in the process of making it all work. It pays dearly to pay attention to watering in the planning process. A system should be borne in mind long before the plants and seeds go into the ground. Even if it is just the purchase of some hoses, pre-planning the watering regime you intend will be among the most important tasks you accomplish.
