Water Conservation Water Wisdom Keeps Yard Plantings Healthy
If you know how much water your landscaping needs, you have taken the first step in News from Friends “Water Wisdom.” It’s pretty tricky giving your plants enough water without overwater- ing. We all know what happens if plants are not watered enough: older leaves turn of the Libraries brown or yellow, tend to fall off or curl; new leaves are dull, wilted and/or drooping, and branches and stems may die. However, do you know why new shoots sag and droop if they get too much water? The reason is wet soil starves root systems of oxygen.
