How often should I water my organic garden?

Asked a year ago
The frequency of watering an organic garden depends on various factors such as weather conditions, plant type, and soil moisture levels. As a general guideline, it is important to maintain consistent moisture levels in the soil, ensuring it is neither too dry nor overly saturated. Check the moisture content by sticking your finger into the soil up to the knuckle; if it feels dry, it's time to water. In warmer weather, gardens usually require watering every 2-3 days, while cooler seasons may only necessitate watering every 5-7 days. However, it's crucial to monitor individual plant needs as they may differ. Factors such as container gardening, wind exposure, or mulching can affect watering frequency. Always prioritize the plant's health and adjust watering accordingly, providing enough moisture to promote growth without causing waterlogging.
