Watering and planting in June

Posted by Jamie on Jun 27, 2009

Now that June is almost at an end you may have noticed that you need to water your garden more. Even though it seems like it rains every other day your plants will need topping up with water because the soil will feel quite dry just underneath the surface.

If you water really well about once a week the roots of plants will put down longer deeper roots because the soil will be wetter deeper down, this is far better of course than shallow roots that can dry out a lot easier if they are not watered often.

If you are planting any new shrub or tree at this time of year then you should soak the root ball and the bottom of the hole you have dug, this is a far better method than just planting and then watering the surface.
