In August, some crops still need abundant watering, while others can no longer be watered.

We tell you how to properly water plants at the end of summer.

How to water plants in August

Let's start with what crops do not need watering. These include potatoes and onions.

By the day of harvesting, the tubers and bulbs must be dry, otherwise the harvest will not store well.

Crops that need to continue to be watered regularly include eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, cabbage, beets and carrots.

We water tomatoes growing in open ground only if they are completely wilted and the harvest has not been collected.

We continue to water the tomatoes growing in the greenhouse, but less often and less often.

It is also advisable to water strawberries, fruit trees and berry bushes in August.

You can combine watering with fertilization and care procedures.
