The Worst Time to Water Your Garden: How Not to Deprive Yourself of a Harvest
It is no secret: for the normal growth and development of plants grown in summer cottages, rural farmsteads and other land plots of citizens, watering is necessary.
However, the same water in some cases is destructive to garden and vegetable crops.
Sometimes even ordinary watering in hot weather can have very undesirable consequences for the flora of your site.
Experienced gardeners and horticulturists have shared several simple rules for proper watering.
First, avoid watering at midday. Direct sunlight can cause burns to wet leaves.
Second. You shouldn't water in the heat. At high temperatures, moisture evaporates faster than it reaches the roots.
Third. Watering in the evening is not advisable. Water remaining on the leaves can lead to fungal diseases.
But it is recommended to water plants in the morning, during periods of inactive sunlight and when the air is not yet warm.
In this case, the water will have time to nourish the roots, and the plants will be able to withstand the heat more easily.
