Watering Your Garden in Winter

Here are my tips for keeping the moisture in your garden soil at the correct levels through the cooler months

With the cooler weather your garden definitely does not need as much water in winter as it does in summer, as it will not be losing as much water to evaporation.

During winter we also get more regular rain fall, foggy mornings, heavy dews and lower temperatures. These conditions lull many gardeners into a false sense of security and they tend to forget to water their gardens and will turn their irrigation systems off completely. However if we are having bright blue skies and sunny days through the cooler months with windy conditions the beds and potted plants will begin to dry out. The wind really can be the main culprit for drying out beds and pots at this time.
