Many people like to plant vegetables in their backyard or in pots, which can be seen and harvested. However, the most painful thing is the problem of water, that is, when and how much water will be eaten, and the ones in the process are indeed very knowledgeable.

Generally speaking, vegetables contain 80% to 90% moisture on average, which means they need adequate moisture. However, this often leads to too much water due to worrying about insufficient water.

So how many days does it take to wash water? How much water should I drink every day? In fact, there is no standard answer. Although it is a general rule to give the garden water 3 times a week, some vegetables may require different irrigation schedules. Specifically, seedlings need more water than vegetables that are close to harvest.

Vegetables can be grown in pots or onto the land. If it is in a basin, whether it is watering or raining, vegetables need about 1 inch of water per week on average; if it is planted on the ground, you only need to follow one principle, that is, water will be washed when the soil is slightly dry.

Some soils may have high sand content or are hot and hot after planting, which can easily dry the soil. At this time, water may be required 2 to 3 times a day. But remember that every time you pour water, it is based on keeping the soil moist, and do not over-water. After the seeds germinate on the land or the seedlings grow, they usually water about 3 times a week. Be careful to reduce the number of deep watering times, which can make the roots grow deeper and stronger. When simmering, use a gentle water flow to avoid rushing away from the soil.

After transplanting seedlings from indoor potted plants to outdoor garden areas, the seedling planting should be directly penetrated into a few inches of deep soil in the seedling planting area, and pay close attention to the growth of the seedlings. The purpose of watering at this time is to keep the soil moist, so do not penetrate, otherwise the vegetables will be soaked and lost at any time.

Vegetables are drowned or have roots, usually because the soil is divided into moisture, so the roots cannot breathe, causing the roots to suffocate and die.

When there is too much water, vegetables will usually have long vassals, long craziness, and even yellow leaves. Many people mistakenly think that leaf yellow is caused by lack of fertilizer. In fact, in the seedling stage, there is rarely a lack of fertilizer, which is mostly caused by too much water.

The above are the basic principles of vegetables. At the same time, due to the different types of vegetables, you should also pay attention to water.

For example, cowpeas, sweet potatoes and sausages do not require frequent water. Cowpeas only need to water the plant every 1 to 2 weeks, with a depth of about 6 inches. Sweet potatoes should be as water as possible every 5 to 7 days, with the water volume at a depth of about 1 inch each time. The zelan needs more water, 1 to 2 inches per week. The situation of green beans is similar, and they need up to 5 cm of water per week.

The best time to water vegetables is to avoid direct sunlight, because it is easy to evaporate water, causing the water absorption to become less severe, so it is best to be in the morning and dusk.
