Gardening expert explains why watering plants at the wrong time could be bad
As the mercury rises, our garden plants need a little help staying moist enough to thrive. Soaking them with water from the hose, however, may do more harm than good.
It's also vital to know which plants need more hydration than others. The gardening expert added: "Grass is very good at dealing with a lack of water; even if it turns brown it will be able to bounce back when the rains return later in the year. At Scotney, we never water grass, even in a heatwave." This is particularly important when dealing with young plants, which are more adaptable to water availability and can adjust to irregular watering schedules.
