In general, do herbs/plants do better if the roots are kept moist, or is it good to let them dry out sometimes?

Usually I keep the soil moist with a mister system that mists either once or twice a day depending on how hot it is. (Morning/Evening) Someone once said that I should let them dry out a little (not completely) so the roots can grow deeper. I thought about it, but noticed that ever since the … Continue reading

How do I properly water the garden?

Have a few annual and perennial herbs in the garden. Have been using a hose with a nozzle to water them, but I can tell they didn’t like that at all, as the spray was too much, and too much water got on the leaves. Now using a misting system that distributes water evenly, and … Continue reading

Does anyone ever let their garden dry out a little bit?

Been using this misting system to water the plants, some people say it’s not worth it, but my plants have grown like crazy since the misting. However, since the soil is so rich, it never really completely "dries" out. Let the garden go without watering for a day and it’s still kinda damp even with … Continue reading

Question about watering herbs and vegetables?

So I got this misting system and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s more like a mini sprinkler system to be exact. But I got it so I don’t have to manually water the herbs all the time. Been using it for about 30 mins in the mornings before these 100 degree … Continue reading

Is it better to water plants or use a mini sprinkler system?

Try to get the water on the soil as much as possible without hitting the leaves. It was either the mini mister landscaper system, or using … Continue reading

Should I let my garden dry out a little bit like someone suggested?

Have a lot of random plants in the garden. Lots of herbs too. Well, keeping it moist with a misting system. I stick my finger in the soil to see how wet/dry it is. Usually it’s just right, maybe a little on the moist side, but never dry. Someone said, hey you should let it … Continue reading

If the soil is still a bit moist, then why do a couple of my plants show signs of under watering from one day?

Got this misting system, like a mini sprinkler system, that is low to the ground so it doesn’t really get on the leaves of the plants too much. Anyways, someone suggested my plants were being over watered. I’d only water them maybe 20 mins, and that was mist, so It’s not like it was a … Continue reading

What's the best way to water plants in the garden and what time of day is best?

I used to take a hose with a nozzle and just mist, spray the air around them and let the water fall where it may. I read that that’s kind of a waste because the water evaporates off the ground and the leaves can get fungus that way. So I’m thinking about just taking the … Continue reading
