Why does the soil in the garden bed dry out: experienced gardeners identify 4 reasons

Providing the beds with moisture is a very important procedure, but what to do if the soil constantly dries out?

But there is no need to worry that this problem is associated with some diseases.

It is important to pay attention to the characteristics of watering, soil composition and other factors.

Let's turn to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Why did the soil become very dry?

Here are 4 reasons.

1. Heat and low rainfall. In hot weather, moisture evaporates faster, so the soil can become excessively dry.
2. Incorrect watering. It is not recommended to water the beds often, but little on hot days. The moisture will still evaporate too quickly.
3. Soil structure. Some types of soil allow water to pass through fairly quickly. For example, over-dried peat will absorb moisture almost instantly.
4. Digging the soil too deeply is another factor that contributes to the soil drying out quickly.
