GARDEN WATERING
WATERING A LAWN OR GARDEN is tricky business.
Knowing when and how much is two-thirds of the job. When depends upon the soil and the rooting characteristics of the plant involved, how much will be governed by the amount of soil that is dried out.
We don’t have these troubles in our Hydroponic Garden. However it is still necessary to do a bit of checking from time to time, An actual inspection of the root zone of the plant is the best way to tell how things are progressing. This is easy in the hydroponic system as all you need do is lift up the individual pod and check how the root is doing.. Shallow rooted plants suffer from drought first because they cannot exploit a very large volume of soil. Deep-rooted plants can withstand prolonged dry spells since they have a large reservoir of soil water to draw on. The plants cant keep secrets from you in the Hydroponic pod.
Herb plants are probably the most shallow-rooted plants. Many of these plants never root more than 3 inches deep. Lettuce, tomatoes and cabbage probably come next with root systems from 6 to 10 inches deep. The bean family will use about a foot of soil, potatoes around 18 inches, sweet corn probably 2 feet, and such crops as tomatoes and as paragus at least 3 feet. So with the deeper plants it is best to use the capillary pot system and for the in between the self watering pot system.
There are a lot of tomato plants growing with root systems less than a foot deep. Ideal for the single pot capillary. In the ground when the soil surrounding the root systems is pumped dry the plant will, of course, die. This is the whole secret of hydroponics….controlled water supply.
There are periods during the life of any plant when shortages of water seem to be more critical, this is why they die.
Hydroponics supply enough water to recharge the entire root system. Here again the best way to ascertain when this has been accomplished is to inspect the root. This is something which is very difficult to do in the outside garden. Not so with hydroponics.
Recharging the root zone of plants requires rather substantial amounts of water. This is achieved automatically with Growing-Systems hydroponic nutrient water.
Annual vegetable and flower gardens can be a complete loss without water The hydroponic growing systems –growing in containers,self watering pots.hydroponic lighting. The wick system and where to get all your supplies and right down to how to build your ownhydroponic system makes it so very easy to grow and to continue to grow your favourite plants and flowers all year round.
.Trees and shrubs are expensive perennials and in some cases cannot be replaced. If they have good root systems they can withstand severe dry spells without injury. If they have poor root systems they will need help. This is where hydroponics come in here….hydroponics build strong root systems.
don’t loose any more of your plants……… GROW HYDROPONICALLY!
