Regular watering is a vital part of successful gardening in any area that has long, dry summers like the Middle East, Southern California, or South West Australia. Regular watering should not imply opening the taps regularly or whenever the plants look dry and tired. There is neither the water available for that, nor is it generally best for the garden plants.
Assuming that the soil has substantial drainage, the next most vital factor is the frequency in which water is implemented. Sandy and light soils are incredible, but maintain water poorly. It follows that the intervals between every watering should be quite short. On the other hand, heavy, clay soils have good water retention attributes but drain quite slowly during the garden irrigation process.
Plants that grow naturally in the arid regions are frequently or not specifically sensitive to low oxygen percentages in the soil. Situations where top of the soil layers are permanently wet may cause the roots to rot, or at least not develop properly. Many shrubs fall under this category. In clay soils, watering once a month is frequently enough for the matured plants, ensuring that sufficient water is catered through an irrigation controller.
You will find heat resistant species in most of the lawn assortments. Nonetheless, they are not resistant to drought, and obviously need Hunter sprinklers. In heavy soils, the interval for the lawns may be more than 2 weeks, though 7 to 10 days is recommendable for the private gardens. The interval for the sandy soil is 3-5 days. Delaying the watering doesn’t include any stake to the mature, healthy lawn. On the other hand, not only does the gap permit air to be present in the soil, but it inspires the deep rooting species such as Bermuda grass to grow under the sub soil.
