Watering Annuals ( Added: Tue Jul 19 2005   Hits: 91) The amount of water a garden needs depends upon climate and weather conditions. Where summer rains are frequent, the garden may need irrigation only during an occasional dry spell. In parts of the arid West and Southwest, watering is one of the gardener's biggest chores.

	Watering Bulbs ( Added: Tue Jul 19 2005   Hits: 90) When the plants are a few inches tall, begin watering to keep them evenly moist throughout the growing and blooming period. Bulb roots grow deep; watering should be thorough, not just a surface sprinkling. The amount of water, of course, depends on the amount of rainfall.

Watering Fruit Trees ( Added: Wed Jul 20 2005   Hits: 60) Fruit trees that are actively growing generally need 1 inch of water once a week, or about 2 gallons of water per square foot of root space once a week. (The roots generally spread out somewhat farther than the top canopy of the trees.) A newly planted tree would have a root spread of up to 2-square feet and, therefore, would need 2–4 gallons of water a week. Adjustments can be made for rainfall and soil type. Your tree may need water quite often in very sandy soil, less often in heavier soil. Always dig down a few inches into the soil first to see if watering is necessary. Trees in a lawn area should have a deep soaking about twice a summer in addition to normal lawn watering.

Watering Trees, Shrubs & Ornamentals ( Added: Wed Jul 20 2005   Hits: 62) Generally speaking, trees and shrubs only need to be watered when they are planted, and while they adapt to their new homes. Once established, rain will provide all the water necessary. But since Mother Nature can be unpredictable, you will do yourself and your trees and shrubs a big favor if you continue to water them during the summer months for the first couple of years after you plant them.
