I thought watering was a pretty straightforward activity - fill cans with water and pour around thirsty plants. Then I found a useful article: 'How to Water Plants Correctly'.
It deals with plants in the ground and also those in pots. There are tips on how to encourage plants to develop deep roots so that they are better able to survive short periods of drought. Ideas for different methods of watering include sinking a flower pot or pipe into the soil next to plants so that water can be introduced directly into the deeper levels of soil, avoiding evaporation from the soil surface. Efficient watering of pot plants is also dealt with.
This article (left hand side of the page) together with useful videos on a selection of gardening topics can be found on the Wikaniko Allotment Garden page.
Useful information for next season's growing.
