In hot weather, plants require frequent watering, but many gardeners know that cold water should not be used.

For this reason, there is a large barrel in the yard, where the water gradually heats up under the rays of the summer sun.

But the heat also brings another surprise – moisture evaporates quite quickly after watering. What can be done about this?

It turns out that there is one ingredient you can add that will help moisture stay in the soil longer: glycerin.

Glycerin retains moisture in the soil well, so you have to water your plants less often. Use this component to help your crops survive extreme heat more easily.

Glycerin is considered a “native” substance for plants – it is easily absorbed by roots and provides energy for growth.

When this substance gets on the leaves of plants, it protects them from heat, drought and even cold. It is enough to dissolve 300 grams of glycerin in a 200-liter barrel and water it.
