WATER WISE

-

Having a good watering regime is just as essential for healthy plants as feeding. An automated watering system is a time saver but make sure you use dripper or soak hose systems that send water to the roots of plants. You can waste a lot of water through evaporatio­n by using spray heads and they may encourage fungal diseases to develop. Grouping plants with similar watering needs together also helps avoid wastage.
