Most gardeners are confident that after rain, there is no need to water the plantings.
Part of the gardening community disagrees. The fact is that these gardeners know how to identify the sign of a lack of moisture for plants. Here are some tips.
Secrets of watering
In addition to the fact that the beds need to be watered in the morning or evening, there are a few more nuances. The main one is to know the signs of lack of moisture.
It has long been known to everyone that excess water is just as harmful as a lack of it.
To check, use this advice, because even on a hot afternoon, only the surface of the ground may seem dry.
Take a thin wooden stick and stick it into the ground to a depth of several centimeters. If after the stick is removed it remains clean, then the soil at the depth has already dried out and it is time to water.
Do you need to water after rain?
Experts believe that after rain the soil becomes softer and absorbs moisture better.
During watering, water penetrates deeper, which means that all the conditions are created for the soil to accumulate a supply of moisture sufficient for plants.
However, it is necessary to take into account the intensity of precipitation, otherwise it is easy to flood the beds and ruin the harvest.
