Watering plants is also obligatory, like food for us, gardeners have one "golden rule" - watering is carried out not often, but abundantly. The fact is that if you water with a small amount of water, there is a risk that the moisture simply does not reach the roots of the plants, which means that all the efforts were wasted.
Usually the roots of most plants are located at a depth of about 15-30 cm, this is the layer that needs to be saturated with moisture. Experienced gardeners and gardeners already know very well how much water is needed by eye. However, if in doubt, you can check it with just a stick. Stick it into the ground and how wet the stick will be and will show the result.
As for the plants themselves, there are also not everything here, just those that need a lot of water, for example, cabbage, celery, spinach, cucumbers. They absorb moisture very quickly, so watering is required more frequently.
And there are those for whom abundant watering will only harm, they include: watermelons, melons, tomatoes, and so on. Their peculiarity is that the root system of these crops can reach 70-80 cm in depth, and therefore they easily extract moisture from the lower layers of the soil. If you overdo it with watering, then there is a high probability that the crop will simply not be there.
The amount of moisture required also depends on the age of the plant itself. After all, you must agree that it is stupid to water only planted seedlings as well as an adult culture. And the roots themselves are still too close to the surface. But when the plant begins to grow, then watering should be gradually increased.
For example, freshly planted peppers and tomatoes need about half a liter of water per bush; as they grow older, you need to increase the dose by 200 ml. Adult bushes already require at least one liter. But cucumbers in this regard are picky, they already at the very beginning need somewhere around 700 grams. water per plant. It is difficult to fill them, because the cucumber is able to get rid of excess moisture with the help of thorns on the fruit.
Abundant watering is harmful to young carrots, tomatoes, beets.
To simplify the task, you can use the plant watering system. Nowadays there is really a lot to choose from. All of them differ in the area of irrigation and "sophistication", for example, there are those that can be programmed in advance, and there are those that are controlled from a smartphone.
Their advantage lies in the fact that they significantly save time and effort, in addition, no matter how strange it may seem, water consumption. After all, not everyone has free access to it.
In conclusion, it must be said that there are some plants that do not require watering at all. Yes, aloe immediately comes to mind, but from the usual it is a rosehip, which is quite enough moisture that it receives from rare rains.
