    Great advice! I'm here from your pickled jalapeno video, and yeah, I was DEFINITELY over watering, even though all my plants were doing well (jalapenos, cantaloupe, yellow squash and zucchini, garlic, green onions, red and yellow potatoes, and early girl tomatoes).
    What you were talking about on how you barely water your plants, but they become strong and resilient, I totally believe it because this chili pequin bush that just started growing wild in my backyard like way far away from the garden, I don't ever water it mainly because I forget about it, it only gets water when it rains and prior to me realizing that it was a pepper plant, I thought it was a weed or a tree trying to grow so I've been like hacking it at down to the nub like crazy for the longest time, years! LOL one day while walking in that area I noticed all these little red berries on it and they were chillies! It is definitely an extremely resilient and strong plant because it has just had to survive on its own!

    I'm gonna try watering with pop-up gear driven sprinklers next year.
    I had great success on my lawn this year with that type of device.
    I've always flood watered for the myth you just mentioned, and your garden is pretty nice!

    What a great looking beach garden, at first glance lol. Must be good drainage and silica which keeps plants strong. Studying gardening again after 30 years of local gardener learning with trial and error, I have to agree and even have the courage to let my plants dry out until drooping more. The tomato plants I finally grew as a kid, and potted window plants only did good when I forgot to water them. More drainage is always better and a must. One thing I learned is collecting rain water is better overall, since it comes acidic at 5.5 unlike tap water, it may negotiate the higher PH over watering creates. Nature over waters all she wants and never gets trouble for it.

    Great video! I have raised beds and the soil has a tendency to dry out a little quicker than in-ground beds. So I have found that during the hotter months of the summer I need to water at least 2-3 times a week depending on soil and weather conditions. Thoughts?

    • @TeachaMantoFish
      @TeachaMantoFish  หลายเดือนก่อน

      As long as you are reading the needs when the plants show they need water, you’re good.
      Over watering happens when the garden “feels” they should water. They kill their plants with too much good intentions.

    I have Sandy Soil here in North East California but the water doesn't seem to penetrate past a Quarter-inch the surface. The dirt underneath is dry as can be.
    We are using tripod sprinklers to water our 90'x90' garden area. Any help/Advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

    I live in southern Colorado. I have a 1 acre garden (2.5 ac total, but I rotate), and small children. We also travel to visit grandparents and need to automate things as much as possible. 10-20% humidity. Already 100F+. Clay and course sand strips for soil. I struggle with watering. We have a 10gpm pump and 60psi. A previous garden I used Home Depot drip line with great success. This garden I used a market garden drip irrigation kit and had terrible germination rates and it didn’t survive for a second use… after trying for several days to patch pin holes and get it working, I did an emergency switch to sprinklers and am battling the worst weeds ever. We have a tractor. I’m tilling up the whole garden and starting over. Considering flood irrigation like you’re doing through the corn rows. How many gallons do you think you’re putting down over what time period? I’m trying to figure out if it’s feasible or not….

    If you were trying to demonstrate the belief that "midday wilting requires watering" is a myth, then why did you just previously soak-water your plants as they were wilting in the middle of the day? Am I missing something?

    • @TeachaMantoFish
      @TeachaMantoFish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Jade Case-Barnes because my goal was to water the plants that day I was filming. The fact is that plants will wilt in midday and insult when the midday heat lifts. You should not water everyday because if midday wilt.

    You are stressing your plants by not watering them. Many people believe stressing your plant makes your plant stronger. I agree your plant will adapt to the lack of water by developing a deeper root system. I also agree most people over water their plants. But, when a plant begins to wilt, its time to water. The wilt is your plant talking to you. I advise you to listen.

    • @TeachaMantoFish
      @TeachaMantoFish  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      smhollanshead not in my experience, just like the video says. Midday wilt and revert us normal. It is in fact a defense strategy for the plant to conserve. Only water when necessary is a critical strategy to growing healthy disease free plants.

      They'll be fine. It's just hot. I've had my share of gardens in New Mexico heat. They wilt every day, and come back up every evening. Of course, I do have to water them. 100F, with 8% humidity is rough.
      My cucumber leaves wilted and the tips dried out. The plants never looked picturesque, yet they yielded perfectly good cucumbers.

      In Australia, it's quite common for pumpkin plants and the like to have limp leaves in the middle of the day no matter how much you water them! It's not a lack of water it's just too bloody hot.
