June Gardening Tips - Southwest

    June Gardening Tips


  • You can still successfully plant new plants in the month of June. Make sure enough water is applied to thoroughly saturate the original root zone. Too often many folks apply "one gallon" of water, or leave their drip system on for only 15 minutes. It is NOT how long but how much water is used.

     

  • Conserving water in Southern New Mexico & East Texas is a BIG issue, so watering deeply and infrequently produces deeper roots which will in turn make plants much more tolerant to drier conditions once established. Water Conservation for the southwest.
