Ruin Your Vegetable Garden: How You Should Never Water Plants in Hot Weather
The middle zone is not characterized by heat, however, it often sets in in the middle of summer.
And since this period is also characterized by the absence of rain, summer residents begin to intensively water the garden themselves.
At the same time, many people make the same mistake, which can cause the plants to die altogether.
Is it possible to water the garden in hot weather?
Let's start with the fact that in hot weather you should never water plants on the leaves.
The more moisture gets on the leaves of your peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and other crops, the more likely it is that water droplets will remain on them. And they will act as lenses for the falling rays of the sun, which will lead to leaf burn.
To protect plants from burning, it is recommended to water them at the roots, moistening the soil around the plantings.
This method also helps to avoid the development of fungal diseases.
