While some Showers have fallen, The Netherlands is Still Dry. Meanwhile, you see your lawn and the plants in the garden yearing for water. Can we reach for the garden hose, or is it better not to?
It’s better to use a watering can, it’s more efficiently. Also, don’t water your plants more than twice a week. By not Overwatering your plants, they will develop Longer Roots and Become Stronger.
Water The Roots, Not The Leaves. Do this early in the morning or after sunset, so that no water evaporates.
Also, don’t panic if your lawn turns brown or spotty, sayes Gardener Rob de Vries. “The Grass is then at rest and will recover on its own as soon. Definitely don’t give too much water. That can caus weed growth and diseases in your lawn.”
