But none tell us a good way to measure it? For months I've been trying to figure out a way that I could prove to myself without a doubt, that I was giving them enough water. Wow, so simple yet so BRILLIANT. I'll be using this method on All my plants in my garden. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤣

Last year i got really tired of watering so i bought a few extra buckets and put 2 holes at angles on bottom of each bucket. Than filled buckets with hose and have them sitting where holes are pointing at plant bases. Fill buckets around garden and go do other things. So only takes about 10 minutes to water whole garden now. I love this method and worked really great last year.

Thanks Gary, good tips. I never had problems with my tomato plants till last year(top end leaf curl on all new growth)....have it again this year...very distressing. I have also watched your leaf curl video. I'm in Utah and it's very hot here already(95-100 degrees).....never rains. I have put up shade cloth to protect then from the scorching sun. I am battling the proper amount of water(sometimes I think I am over watering, than a week later I think I am underwatering)..... I also know I have to step up my mulching game. Thanks for your videos.

So, here's the funny thing... there is another supremely excellent KZfaq gardener, also in Maryland. I just watched a video of his where he says he doesn't water his tomatoes AT ALL (except in one case and I think it was when they were transplanted). To accomplish this, he mulches like 8 inches of grass clippings. It's the fun and funny thing about gardening. Gary says very thin layer of grass mulch, and waters a lot. Other guy (whose name escapes me) piles the grass on and never waters. Both your crops look excellent. Better than mine, haha.

I think you are right,Gary . Last year I had a fantastic 6,5 feet cherry plant in a 3 gallon pot , I gave it some liquid organic fertilizer once in a while, but it was watered very constantly. Those were good tomatoes yum yum 😙

Gary, I have my tomatoes in the 15gal root pouches with shredded hardwood mulch on top. My question is how would I know when to water? I’m in Charlotte area and every time I put my finger into the soil it’s dark and feels moist, not wet. Should I wait until it feels dryer or just go based off of watering 2” 1-3 times a week? It was easier to tell if I should water when I didn’t have the mulch on top. Now it seems like the soil is always moist. Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to the pruning stuff. Also got the kindle version of your book. Can’t wait to finish reading it.

@THERUSTEDGARDEN 3 жыл бұрын

Well soil dries from the top down. So that is good. But I would go with a schedule you set. The root pouches drain well and containers are different than the earth beds. You can't really over water them. 3x a week in your heat is a good start. You will find it will have to be more often and peak plant size and summer heat.Thanks for book support.

Hi Gary: Mike from Bowie again. I really have ignored the fact that I have been low on Manganese for the last twenty years and it's gotten worse. I was wondering if you have ever used Manganese Sulfate to control this issue. I have used 5 lbs. of Epsom Salts every year (800 sq f.) because of low Magnesium and below optimal sulfur so I plan on ordering Manganese sulfate and foliar feeding low amounts this summer. I will incorporate it into the soil next year with the other stuff I use. I have a rather high organic matter level 13.5% main garden, 8.5%auxiliary smaller garden I may skip the compost in the main garden and use just a thin layer of Bloom on that one next year. By the way the video was great the best way to spend under 6 minutes ever. Have you ever recommended pruning lower branches on tomato plants to prevent the spread of soil born diseases even though you use mulch. I noticed some of your plants are almost tall enough. Thanks again Mike

Great video. I have been doing veggie gardens on and off since my grandfather taught me in the early 70's. The last couple of years I have been looking at what I pay for water VS. yield. I truly enjoy gardening, however with the current inflation situation, It is not in the budget for the extra 40 to 50 bucks a month to do it. I have looked at rain collection , however for me to invest in it , when I happily give away most of my yield, It makes me sad . I have a couple of Aerogardens that cost almost nothing that work fine, however ....It ain't gardening.
