| Watering is the most vital and seemingly easiest part of gardening. However, there is more to watering than simply turning on the sprinklers. Gardeners need to know how much water to give each plant, the best time of day to water, and how to avoid run-off and evaporation.
Monrovia, one of the world’s largest growers of container plants, introduces a new series of informational brochures designed to educate expert and novice gardeners alike. The series, available in garden centers nationwide, includes Watering; It’s What’s Going on Down Under that Counts. Gardeners will learn the ins and outs of watering both backyard and container gardens effectively and efficiently.
Want to know how water behaves in your soil? Learn how to dig a test hole to gauge water absorption. Concerned with water conservation and eliminating evaporation and run-off? Discover the virtues and methods of mulching. Worried about surface rooting or possible drought damage? Study tips on deep watering to encourage deep root systems and enhance drought resistance.-more- Watering
