Water Brings Life to the Garden
It’s finally starting to look like spring outside your
window. Woody shrubs are beginning to
leaf out, bulbs are coming out of the ground, and spring wildflowers are
getting ready to bloom. With longer days and more sunlight, it’s a good time to
think about water.
Drip irrigation is one of the best ways to make sure that water goes directly to the plants that need it. You won’t accidentally water the weeds, and by avoiding overhead spraying, you can reduce the risk of plant disease. Even in a drought tolerant garden, a little drip irrigation can help plants make it through the dry season.
Mulch can help hold moisture in the soil and add beneficial microorganisms that will allow plants to better withstand periods of prolonged drought. Our Happy Frog Soil Conditioner is designed to do both those things. Add a 2 or 3 inch layer to your garden and watch your plants thrive.
Foliar feeding is the best way to hydrate plants and feed them at the same time. This time of year, we are using our liquid Grow Big to get plants off to a good start. Apply directly to leaves, and your plants will absorb all the nutrition they need and stay hydrated at the same time.
