How to water the garden (Part 1)
If you are going to use sprayer nozzle for this purpose you should know that it is good for washing the car, but will be ineffective for watering because it flows with a high-pressure that will damage the plants. You won’t be able to stay in one place for a long time, and sprayer nozzle just won’t give enough water to the soil and roots.
Correct watering is especially important during the first few weeks of the growth, when plants are building their root systems and trying to get established.
Try to water plants in a soft shower rather than a high-pressure stream.
You should not water plants if you don’t have to, as excessive water is can cause problems. Measure and monitor rainfall on a calendar. The ideal for most gardens is an inch every week, but many established plants can easily tolerate short periods of dryness. If heat and drought are prolonged, water your most valuable plants.
