It's impossible to grow a successful vegetable garden without a proper watering schedule or routine.

Throughout the year there may be days, weeks and even months where the perfect amount of rain falls however, you can be guaranteed that every summer will bring with it long hot days where constant irrigation is essential to the survival of your garden.

Under the stress of drought garden plants may not grow to their intended size resulting in small fruit, for example, undersized tomatoes and peppers and in some cases, no fruit at all.

Also, when starved of irrigation some plants may even become bitter, tough and fibrous making them completely inedible.

Implementing a structured watering routine will help alleviate these problems allowing you to enjoy the fruit of your wares time and time again.
