How to Prevent Overwatering in Your Garden 🌻
Overwatering can be just as harmful as underwatering. Here's how to ensure you're watering correctly:
1. Check Soil Moisture: Use a moisture meter or stick your finger into the soil to check moisture levels before watering.
2. Proper Drainage: Ensure pots and garden beds have good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
3. Watering Schedule: Water plants deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
4. Mulching: Mulch helps retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.
5. Plant Selection: Choose plants that are suited to your local climate and soil conditions.
Tips:
- Water in the early morning to reduce evaporation and fungal growth.
- Group plants with similar water needs together.
- Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses for more efficient watering.
