🚿How to Best Water Plants with New Growth to Stop Wilt 🚿

Ken Lain, the Top10 Gardener, here. Ensuring your plants stay hydrated during hot weather is crucial for preventing wilt, especially with new growth.

Start by checking your drip irrigation system regularly. Look for leaks or damaged emitters—rats, gophers, and other critters often go after the moisture. You can identify problems by walking through your landscape and listening for unusual spraying sounds.

Next, prepare for the heat by spreading organic compost or shredded cedar bark. This mulch helps keep the soil cool and retains moisture, reducing the frequency of watering. Pay attention to the positioning of your drip emitters. For larger plants, consider adding a second emitter to ensure even coverage.

You'll keep your garden thriving even in the hottest weather by staying proactive and attentive. Watch your garden flourish with these practical steps, and remember, regular maintenance is key to a healthy, vibrant yard.
