Of all the agricultural techniques, gardeners most often have to deal with irrigation.
However, not all gardeners approach watering with due attention and often frivolously pour water onto the beds simply from a hose and whenever necessary.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to properly water a vegetable garden.
These recommendations need to be known and remembered, as the future harvest depends on them.
How not to water a vegetable garden
Firstly, gardeners make a mistake by watering their gardens at random times.
It is best to plan water procedures for early morning. It is important that the air temperature is not yet very high.
Depending on the weather and climate, this time falls between 05:00 and 09:00 in the morning.
Secondly, evening watering.
You can often hear that watering can be postponed until the evening if necessary.
In fact, evening watering is worse than morning watering.
The fact is that this practice leads to stagnation of water in the beds, which does not have the best effect on the roots and leaves.
At the same time, the risk of developing fungal diseases and rot increases, and high humidity attracts insect pests.
Ultimately, all this can lead to infection and death of plants.
