Understanding Your Plants’ Needs
Watering is one of the most important skills in gardening, and many beginners struggle with either over watering or under watering. Most vegetables prefer deep, infrequent watering that reaches root depth rather than shallow daily sprinkles.
Best Times to Water
Aim to water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation. If you’re using raised beds, be aware that they dry out faster than in-ground plots , checking soil moisture with your finger is a simple and effective method.
Checking Soil Moisture
Consistent watering leads to healthier, more flavorful harvests. Using a simple finger test or moisture meter can help you determine when your plants truly need water.
