Economical watering with the Fiskars brand - a complete guide!

Many people still struggle with the problem of watering their lawn or garden.If it is a small area, it can be done walking with a watering can or a hose.If our garden is not only grass and low flowers, but also shrubs and trees, a problem arises. For watering to be effective, two basic conditions must be met:

- regularity,

- ensuring the right amount of water.

Not everyone has the opportunity to build an irrigation system from scratch on an undeveloped plot. We often make such a decision when the garden is already a beautiful green retreat, which we are notable to water with a hose every day.How to proceed then? Technology comes to the rescue.

How often to water during a drought and how to do it skillfully?

Watering in times of drought does not differ significantly from the basic rules of watering. We water the plants when necessary and we do it abundantly. It is not worth putting quantity over quality. Once and for all is a better strategy than a bit of a lot of times. Systematic, abundant watering helps to maintain adequate moisture in the deeper layers of the earth and stimulates the plants to root deeper, which increases their tolerance to drought. The time is also important. Plants should be watered in the morning or evening, when the air temperature is still relatively low compared to the rest of the day. This will reduce water evaporation and make it easier to soak in. When watering, try to avoid pouring water over the entire plants (mechanical damage and water is the first step to fungal and bacterial infections), direct the stream of water directly into the substrate, remembering that too strong a stream directed at the root ball can also be harmful.A simple and effective solution to protect the substrate against excessive drying is mulching, e.g. with bark or stones in the case of ornamental plants, or with straw or agrotextile in the case of arable plants.
