The Bay Area is in the midst of a heatwave and there’s no rain on the horizon. Here’s a smart watering garden tip: If your new plants are not on a drip irrigation system, deep watering is recommended. Deep water for up to 20 minutes on the soil around the plant, ideally in the morning. If you have mulch, add it around the plants—it helps retain more water in the soil. For more gardening tips and tricks, check out upcoming event’s on StopWaste’s calendar:
