Many summer residents and gardeners pay a lot of attention to fertilizing and weeding plants.

But at the same time, watering is carried out using water that is not suitable for plant care.

We figure out why you can’t use a well as a source of moisture and what kind of water is actually used to water your garden.

Let's start with the fact that cold, often icy water comes from the well. However, plants do not have thermoregulation, so the normal temperature for them is the ambient temperature.

Therefore, if you water plants with cold water, it will burn the root system, causing crops to lose the ability to absorb moisture.

As a result, the plant will become dehydrated, its growth will slow down and there will be a risk of various diseases.

Therefore, it is recommended to have a special barrel for watering, which will heat up during the day, and water with settled water that has stood for at least a day.
