Water like a pro

“Jörg Pfenningschmidt helps when things are not going well in the bed.

Mr. Pfenningschmidt? …. Hello? Yes / Yes. Hello. I have a question today that is due to topicality. ohh Yes, it is dry in the north and in the east. In Saxony-Anhalt even drier than ever. You have to water. Yes, you have to. But most people do it wrong. Real? 90 percent, I would say. But that is a bold statement. Is there evidence for this? This is a rough, personal estimate. I actually see all the time that people do it wrong. 

What does wrong mean? 

They pour it on for like 15 minutes until everything looks nice and wet, and then they stop. And they do that every day. And is that wrong? Yes, that's wrong because the water doesn't get deep enough that way. It's all wet, but only upstairs. Accordingly, the plants only make roots at the top. But if it's wet at the top, the roots are okay

No. The soil dries at the top first. And further down there are no more roots. 

Okay, now please how to do it properly. You have to pour thoroughly. piercing. And not that often. What does penetrating mean? The water has to get past the roots and into deeper soil layers. The roots then follow the water. 

But you have to water it for two hours. Every day?! nope Maybe every two weeks. 

Or when it gets particularly dry and you can see that it is necessary. In the drought, however, plants always look somehow needy. Sure, but if the leaves are limp during the day, that doesn't mean much at first. 

You have to look in the morning. If the leaves hang there, you should water them. 

Okay, so I'm watering - but how do I know I've watered piercingly? You look there. With a spade. under the plant? No! Besides. If dry soil comes after a few inches, that wasn't enough. Not piercing? Yes."
