At the end of August, many summer residents will begin harvesting sweet peppers.
Unfortunately, at the beginning and middle of the month, some gardeners can make a serious mistake and cause great harm to the plant.
Don't want to deprive yourself of the harvest at the final stage of growing a garden crop?
Then don't repeat the popular mistake associated with watering peppers!
How not to water peppers in August
In the final third of summer, cold water should never be used to water this plant.
Liquid at low temperature will most likely stop the growth of garden crops.
It is possible that in this case the owner of a country plot will simply be left without a pepper harvest.
To avoid this situation, do not rush to use cold water. Leave the filled buckets in the sun so that the liquid has time to warm up.
What other mistakes should you avoid when watering peppers?
In August, the soil under the pepper bushes must be kept constantly moist.
Therefore, the plant needs to be watered at least once every few days, unless the period is rainy.
Infrequent watering or complete refusal of this procedure at the end of summer is fraught with the fact that the fruits will not be juicy enough.
In addition, peppers should not be watered right at the root. This approach can lead to damage to the root system and deterioration of the fruit.
It is better to moisten the soil around the garden crop.
