Autumn adds an increased chance of wet days to your fall gardening plans. However, too much water can drown your crops, so make sure you’re utilizing proper watering techniques. Follow these autumn watering tips to ensure that your gardens thrive by harvesting time.

  • Schedule your sprinklers to water your garden twice a week for about 20 minutes (be sure to comply with local water restrictions if applicable).
  • Water in the early morning if you’re watering by hand.
  • Allow your lawns to soak up the rain water if you’re expecting storms.

The most important thing to do to keep your lawn healthy is to make sure you’re using proper watering techniques. Visit Milberger’s Nursery today to talk to a garden expert and browse a wide selection of fall garden items.
