Gardening Tips

• Water your plants in the morning to avoid water loss from evaporation. Another benefit of watering in the morning is that it allows plant’s leaves to dry up before evening – this helps by discouraging the development of mealybugs and fungus.
• Love planters but tire of frequent watering? Consider a larger planter or pot. The depth will hold moisture for a longer period and provide optimum growing space.
• Promote companion planting in your garden; learn which plants grow best with another one. For an example, growing basil near to tomatoes enhances its taste and keeps both healthy.
