Winter Watering

02.11.11

A quick note on watering, do not forget to water those plant you

installed this fall. Although, a plant’s water needs are lower now they still

need some care in order to succeed. Most established plants are fine with the

natural rainfall. However, if we enter a prolonged period with no rain you

should give your plant(s) a deep watering, trying to apply about ¼ - ½ inch of

water when irrigating.  I have set an arbitrary period of 7-10 days because it is

easy to remember. Remember, the need for water will vary from plant to plant

and owners need to establish a watering regime that works for everyone.
