Watering in dry weather

In a garden a few seasons are as sad as the dry season. Lack of water causes plants to lose color, fade, and if not careful, you die.

The yellow color of grass and every plant makes the view even more ugly and garden furniture are even hotter than they earn or sitting.

This can be solved with the risk, if you have access to enough water to do so. Although it sometimes seems like it takes a lot, the reality is you can do wonders with a little, knowing she used.

So here are some points to take care of your garden in the drought:

Watering at night or very early. When we see our plants dry run for the hose and fill them with water, but must resist the temptation.

The water in the leaves and stems accumulate in droplets that evaporate quickly in hot sun. This causes the leaves are damaged by excessive heat.

Also, when it rains it is cloudy and the water does make better. If you water with the sun at all that gives, most of the water will evaporate.

For watering, especially the grass, takes the final hours of the afternoon when the sun is getting and you cool off. In this way the soil will remain moist longer and soak more.

Leave a few leaves. A compulsion we have is that our garden is free of leaves and branches that make it look ugly, but in the dry is better to leave some at the base of plants.

The dried leaves provide mulch to help the soil is cooler and retain moisture better.

Eye! This does not work on a lawn should follow those removed.

Use drip irrigation. If you want a lot of your garden and do not have much water is available, get localized irrigation devices such as drip and sprinklers.

For some time there are many models and brands and are not as expensive. Furthermore, it is always better to invest a little in your garden to be planted each season plants to replace those that were lost in the drought.

Do not expect miracles. This is sometimes surprising to some but it's true. After watering up with more water when it rains, the garden does not look as nice as after a rain. Why?

At first because when it rains normally the sun goes down a bit, giving the plants a break from the sweltering heat, and second is that the water we use for the garden comes from a pipe and can be treated, usually with chlorine.

This makes it more difficult to assimilate by plants as rain water, in addition to causing some damage to soil bacteria .***

A garden is a source of comfort and relaxation for many, but there are stations that seem to try to remove it. Take care of your garden and will care for you.

I love gardening and everything having to do with it. I am also a fan of outdoor furniture, plants and all that is outdoors.
