What are the rules of watering?

There is no doubt that irrigation is a substantial part of caring for the plants in our gardens and terraces during all seasons of the year. And although it may seem easy, it is essential to follow some rules to obtain the best result.

KEEP MOISTURE

The first thing we should try is to maintain a regular and uniform humidity level. That is, do not drown them in water once and then let them dry completely before watering them again. It is true that dry soil stimulate the roots to grow more, since they go in search of moisture. But it is best to maintain a constant level of impregnation to avoid problems.

WATERING LESS OFTEN, BUT THOROUGHLY

Regarding the quantity and frequency of watering, it is best to water only once a week but totally moisten the bed of the plant. When we water often with little water some of them suffer. So let's sprinkle the earth well but only once every seven days.

EFFICIENT IRRIGATION

Save water and energy when watering with the sun. The idea is to water as much as is needed, but without overdoing it. Water is a scarce resource and must be dosed. Implementing a direct solar irrigation system will also help us save energy. This system uses photovoltaic solar panels to pump into the water and does not use electricity or batteries.

THE BEST TIME FOR WATERING

First thing in the morning is the best time, at night we can also do it. But avoiding wetting the foliage, it is better to "sleep dry." Keep in mind that in the hottest hours of the day most of the water evaporates and you can notice the magnifying glass effect of the sun on the drops burning the leaves.

WATER TO IRRIGATE

Tap water usually has chlorine, but if we let it stand before using it, it evaporates. And if of course we can have a deposit with rainwater, this is the best option without a doubt that we can take it to the garden by means of a simple water pump.

CHECK THE HUMIDITY OF THE SOIL

To control more or less irrigation it is important to check the humidity of the soil or substrate. Each of the plants that we have in the courtyard or in the garden has its own water needs; for example, flowering plants or palm trees need slightly less water than grass.

In order to avoid problems, it must first be ensured that the soil or substrate really needs water
