C & J Lawn Care

If there is one type of question that anyone in the horticulture industry gets asked more than any other, it has to be about watering strategies. The problem is that there is not one solution. You see, gardens are filled with an abundance of different plants. Each of those plants has it's own requirements when it comes to watering.

Then you need to add in all the different types of soil conditions as well as climates and you'll quickly come to the conclusion that there is not one final answer. The number of different watering requirements are almost equal to the number of different plants out there. For example, a typical lawn in a residential neighborhood, requires consistent moisture in order for it to be as healthy as it can be.

On the other hand, many different types of trees and shrubs can survive with less water and occasionally suffer some drought stress without leading to death. Yet, there are still other plants, such as those that have adapted to withstand drought. Despite you needing soil to dry out completely between waterings, these miraculous plants are able to go weeks and sometimes months without water.
