Doing too much can actually be more problematic than not doing enough! First, it&#8217;s important to understand that plant physiology is not like human physiology.

					<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve discussed watering our indoor nursery many times in the past. But, I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ve ever breached the topic of how we practice hydrozoning in the indoor nursery! Hydrozoning is the concept of organizing your plants based on their water needs. The idea is to group things that need water together and things that [&#8230;]]]></description>

You&#8217;ve probably heard that too much water isn&#8217;t good and too little isn&#8217;t good, either. So, let&#8217;s navigate the ambiguity! First, let&#8217;s point out the painfully obvious stuff. Soil that looks or feels wet is wet. Soil that looks or [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[OK, one of our readers wanted us to dive deep into hydrophobic soils in the nursery setting this season. To get everyone on the same page, hydrophobia is a soil that tends to repel water instead of absorb it. Perhaps the most obvious thing would be if a soil throws you a lot of troubles, [&#8230;]]]></description>

The short gist is we do as little as possible.

At a certain point, our plants become quite large and fertilizing with watering cans becomes a lot less practical. This tool is called a hose-end sprayer and it&#8217;s the optimal way to spread water soluble fertilizers over large spaces. [&#8230;]]]></description>

One of the things you can&#8217;t do when it gets hot is ignore your garden. This is especially true when its relatively freshly planted.
