A successful summer garden needs good irrigation. Overwatering can cause root rot and other issues, while underwatering hurts plants. Track rain using a rain gauge and adjust your watering plan. Deep, efficient watering with soaker hoses and drip irrigation systems lowers waste and surface evaporation. Watering plants early in the morning or late at night reduces evaporation and increases plant health. Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds improve garden yield and the environment. Planting various flowering plants with different bloom dates ensures these organisms have enough food. Pesticides destroy helpful insects; therefore, avoid them. Choose natural pest management to protect the environment.
