Watering properly in summer<\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

On hot days a bed loses up to five litres of water per square metre through evaporation. Yet frequent, shallow watering is the wrong strategy: the water only reaches the top layer of soil, the plants form shallow roots and become even more sensitive to drought. Rare, penetrating watering is better, as it draws the roots deeper.<\/p>\n\n\n
