I'm totally digging the long watering wand. I live in Louisiana where the spiders think I grow the plants for them. They keep bugs off but they also jump at me if I get to close. Can't lean in and water them. I've been watering them like rain. The plants like it ok but I don't like doing it because it smushes the little sprouts into the dirt, and it can burn the leaves if the sun is to bright and it always is here. I've watered during the day and the water just became magnified droplets of death for the leaves. Definitely going to have to get a wand.

Gardeners never know everything about their business, although they sometimes act like they do. I'm more into landscaping, but love vegetable gardening, and i learned a lot from you, so, thank you. What came to my mind watching this vid, is watering seedlings. I use a spray bottle for that. That way, you can give your little babies just the right amount of water at exactly the spot they need it. keep on gardening, it's one of the most important things a person can do.

@matthewhuszarik4173 2 жыл бұрын

Over watering and under watering are best prevented by soil with a high percentage of organic matter to hold water and a high percentage of sand to allow good drainage. Easiest method is planting in raised bed with a good sized reservoir then you just water until the reservoir is full.

I like the analogy of a dry sponge. If a kitchen sponge is really dry and you run it under a steam of water, most of the water just runs off because it is slightly hydrophobic. So, as Kevin said, water a little, give it time to soak in &open up and be receptive to absorbing the next watering. For$10-15 you can buy a water & pH combo meter for house plants (which I realized I needed cuz, yes, I over watered too many of them) So now, when I water I carry around a little bucket with my meter & a few tools and before I water, I use the meter instead of my finger, cuz it can go deeper and test different levels in the soil then sometimes, especially when the weather changes, I check again AFTER watering to see if I watered enough. and since Im Spending a few extra minutes at many of the plants, I have my bucket & tools to take care of weeds, trimming, harvesting, etc. Soon I hope to have 96% of my plants automatically watered with drip or sprinklers.

Great video with lots of practical advice. With seeds and new sprouts, I lay down enough water to keep the bed moist. After a little growth, I pull in the mulch and cut back a little on the watering, going from 2X a day to once in the morning. My experience with tomatoes is just the opposite of what you're advising. I've found that during the fruiting stage, the tomatoes easily split if they get a lot of water. Nothing I can do about the rain, but I tend hold back, watering once in the morning every other day.

I have 3 raised gardens, as I have limited space here in town. In addition to that, I've been collecting tea and coffee grounds and rain water for over 4 years. One thing I've found is that raised garden dry out faster than ground-level gardens. This is especially true after this many years of working coffee grounds into the soil. Worms don't feed on the grounds, but feed on the mold that grows on the coffee grounds. Aside from that, the decomposed coffee grounds loosen up the soil which is great. But mine may be a bit too loose, as it dries out rather quickly. As hot and dry as it is in Missouri, I must water each morning and each evening. After my morning watering, my soil is as dry as a bone by evening. Concerning spraying water on top of the plants, where does rain water fall, other than on top of the plants? My system is rather primitive as I use 1 gallon plastic jugs to water my plants. I mulch my plants with leaves and grass clippings, saw dust or wood chips, if available. This begs the question as is it even practical to raise a garden of corn, peas and beans when they are cheaply available from your grocery store? I've decided to move my strawberry plants to my gardens, and not waste time and energy on vegies.

Such an important video. I was a bit disappointed that you didn't talk about the relationship between watering and blossom end rot.

Excellent video and very timely for me. I've just added a split connector to my hose and put a drip hose in, but it's just spraying the water everywhere, I think the soaker hose would be much better.
