Looking after plants in garden and kitchen garden, do not forget them to give to drink regularly. Saving water, do not water with strong stream which can wash away the soil, deform leaves and bare roots.
It is required to you
- - mulch;
- - piece of the plastic pipe filled with gravel;
- - polyethylene film;
- - garden hose;
- - nozzle with the water pressure regulator.
Instruction
1. First of all water those plants most of which of all need it. Container cultures in greenhouses or greenhouses belong to them. Remember that the plants which are recently planted and not taken roots yet do not receive enough water from deep soil. They eat from surface layers of the soil with the fast-evaporating moisture. It is abundant water lettuce, spinach, peas, haricot, tomatoes.
2. Saving the forces and time, use as mulch (the substances covering top soil and keeping its humidity), water-conservation materials: hay, straw, sawdust, manure, leaves, compost. If the mulch consists of small particles, the layer in 4-5 cm is sufficient. Applying more friable substances (for example, straw), increase coating thickness to 10-15 cm.
3. Periodically carefully impregnate the soil with water. Do not think that short-term waterings save water and your time. Spilling only top layer, you do not interfere with fast evaporation of moisture. Plants do not receive it in enough and it is necessary to repeat the procedure often.
4. Water in the evening or in cloudy day, avoiding losses of moisture at evaporation and keeping leaves of cultures from burns. Planting tree or bush, dig piece of plastic pipe, having filled it with gravel. Direct the lower end to root system, and top leave on surface. This simple way will allow you to deliver pointwise water to roots of plants.
5. Applying pots from cellular material or wicker suspended baskets, envelop their inside face polyethylene, having left only drainage holes. It will help you to avoid loss of moisture through sides of containers.
6. Use the volume boxes containing more than compost less often demanding watering. Possessing collection of small pots, group them. Drought-resistant plants arrange in solar places, for example in patio. Reducing evaporation, zamulchiruyta surface gravel or stones.
7. For manual water supply to remote sites of garden or greenhouse with container plants, use plastic hose. Saving water and the forces, equip the line of watering with nozzle with the water pressure regulator.
