What time of day should you water garden plants?
The best time of day to water garden plants is early morning. As the sun comes up, the plants will start to use water. Failing that, water your plants in the evening, but never in the midday sun - the water will evaporate more quickly.
When watering, try to keep the leaves dry. Wet leaves become easily diseased. Lift the leaves and water around the roots.
How often should you water garden plants?
As a general rule, most outdoor plants like to be watered once a week. Checking the soil is a good way to tell - if the soil feels dry, it's normally time to water.
However, there are some exceptions...
Young plants, those in pots, or in a greenhouse will need watering every day or two
Any bedding plants with a shallow root system or veggies will benefit from a weekly drench
Hardy varieties, including clematis and roses, only need watering once a fortnight
Mature shrubs and trees can fend for themselves!
It's usually best to water less regularly but thoroughly, as opposed to little and often. This will help to get the water down to the deeper root tips.
