[HIGHLIGHTS] Watering plants: when, how often and how much water the garden needs

In summer and spring, beds, hedges and lawns need to be watered regularly again. What mistakes you should avoid at all costs when watering plants.

Experts from Öko-Test advise gardening enthusiasts to reach for the watering can in the early hours of the morning if possible. The cooler the temperatures in the morning, the less water evaporates and seeps into the soil more easily. Wet leaves can also be very harmful to some vegetables, for example, quickly develop fungal diseases.
