Why do summer residents water their beds after rain? The answer from experienced gardeners is surprising
Many summer residents are sure that after the rain there is no need to water the beds, but in fact this is not entirely true.
In this matter, there are also important nuances that gardeners should take into account.
There are periods in summer when there is no rain for weeks. During the period of active crop growth, this is bad.
Summer residents circle around the beds, watering the plants and hoping that it will rain soon. The soil is dry, and moisture is poorly absorbed.
After a good rain, the situation is completely different. It is also worth watering the beds at this time. In this case, the moisture is perfectly absorbed and goes deeper into the soil, creating a good supply of water.
When dry and hot weather returns, plants will use this reserve.
Of course, it is always worth considering the intensity of precipitation. It is necessary to assess the condition of the soil, because excess moisture will not bring any benefit either.
You can take a wooden stick and stick it into the soil, and then take it out. If it is dry and clean, then it is worth watering.
After moistening, the soil can be mulched. Then the need for watering will disappear for a long time.
