How to protect plants in garden beds from overheating and dehydration: simple tricks from experienced gardeners
Any deviations from the climate norm primarily affect agriculture.
The harvest can be destroyed not only by frost, but also by overheating.
Let's figure out how to prevent a disaster using a few simple methods.
How to save garden beds from heat
The first and most important way to preserve plants is regular watering. However, it is important to remember that this should never be done while the sun is at its zenith, otherwise burns cannot be avoided.
The best time to water plants is early morning or evening.
The second important point is shading those beds that are located in the sunniest areas.
For this purpose, a white covering material is used, protecting the plantings from the scorching sun.
The third method is soil mulching. It is necessary so that moisture does not evaporate from the soil immediately, but is retained in it.
The best materials for mulching are considered to be hay, straw and wood shavings.
