Water is the most essential part of caring for newly planted plants. It’s also the most underestimated issue we have with plant support because if it is too dry, plants don’t grow; if it is too wet, they also don’t grow. When figuring out how much to water, you have to look at surrounding factors, such as what will dry out the soil or take water from the soil and what can put water into the soil outside your irrigation system timer control.
