Watering - Gardening 101 - SaferbrandWatering

The amount of water you give the plants in your garden is crucial to their overall health. Watering too much or too little can harm your plants, and some of the harm may be irreversible.

 

The best time for watering is in the morning before heat and evaporation take their toll. Grass clippings and mulch spread on the soil help to prevent the evaporation.

 

Using an organic fertilizer like Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® or Ringer® Lawn Restore® will add valuable nutrients to your soil allowing them to hold more water and prevent the effect of drought conditions.

 

 

 

 

What to Use

Watering-Sprinkler

Watering with a sprinkler or irrigation-type hose is a great start to a healthy organic garden. A watering can may be sufficient for watering a plant or two; however, if you have a garden of plants, you will find it much easier to use a sprinkler or irrigation hose than having to make many trips to the faucet to fill the watering can.

 

Using an organic lawn fertilizer like Ringer® Lawn Restore® and Concern® Weed Prevention Plus® provides essential nutrients to your soil, which allows it to retain moisture much better then if treated with synthetic fertilizers. Spreading grass clippings and mulch on the soil will also help to preserve moisture.

 

While providing enough water is essential for the overall health of your plants, you must be careful not to overwater the plants. The number 1 killer of houseplants is over-watering. Using a product like Safer® Brand Oxygen Plus Liquid Plant Food prevents overwatering by infusing essential oxygen into the soil, promoting healthy plants.
