Water them early in the morning

My husband and i have made this one our home garden routine. We wake up each day after devotion and head to our home garden to just water our plant and bask in the scintilating feeling of greens and nature.

Watering your garden early in the morning is the best way for your plants to soak up water without having to worry about evaporation. During the early morning, the sunlight is not as strong compared to other times of the day, thus giving your plants the time they need to soak the water into its roots before losing some of that water from stronger, harsher sunlight later on in the day.

Not just that, the ground is cooler in the morning, the leaves and stems in your garden will also have more time to dry before the evening, preventing the risk of fungi or bacteria.

Dont be a careless farmer or gardener. Learn to pay attention to your home garden. It is your investment. You are growing your food, so give it all the attention you need.

One of the best indicators for determining whether or not it’s a good time to water plants in your home garden is simply by paying attention to the soil. No need for any fancy tools or processes to do this.

Just checking it with your hand is all it takes to determin if the soil is dry and needs water.

If not, you can wait an additional day to prevent the risk of overwatering. This tip applies for all lawns, gardens, and plants.

Only water veggies in your home garden when you need to

Dont over do things. I know you desire your crop to do so well. But please, do not over do things. Water plays a crucial role in maintaining happy and healthy plants, but is when it is excessive, it becomes a problem.

I know someone might be asking if watering can ever be excessive? The answer is Yes. There is a point where watering can become a bit too much.

And this is one mistake that most farmers and gardeners make. They water the plant far too often without taking into account if it’s actually needed. There are a lot of factors that can affect the need to water. The basic are thing like temperature, amount of sunlight and the condition of the soil.

Overwatering can affect root growth, make them decay and cause you to waste a lot more water (and effort), than is needed. So, it is higly important, you pay attention to dry spells and soil conditions to determine whether or not you need to water first before actually doing so.

Give special attention to new plant

If your seed just sprouted or you transplated from your nursery to your garden, that is a new plant you just welcome. Give it special attention.

New plant demands special attention because they are being introduced into an entirely differe environment or soil that they may have known. Even though your nursery might be closer to your garden or even inside it, there is a difference in it especially for new plant.

There roots needs to get use to the new environment, so they will keep askig for more water and attenton as they can get until they are able to stand on their own.
