Hey Sprinkler Heads! We talked about this last month for those of us lucky enough to garden in Georgia—where spring shows up early, and we’ve already got tomatoes in the ground. But for the rest of you just now thawing out, let’s go over it again because getting your soil and watering game right now means a thriving garden all season long.
First up: your soil needs to eat, too! Tossing water and fertilizer on your plants without prepping your soil is like trying to build a house on quicksand. Enter soil inoculants—your garden’s tiny but mighty workforce. These microscopic soil superheroes break down organic matter, release nutrients, and make sure your plants’ roots grow deep and strong. Basically, they do all the hard work while you take the credit (and the veggies).
Now, let’s talk about watering—because "more is better" is a lie when it comes to irrigation. Instead of giving your garden a daily bath, focus on deep, infrequent watering to encourage roots to grow down where the good stuff is. Not only does this make your plants more drought-resistant, but it also keeps those helpful microbes from drowning. And don’t forget to check your irrigation system—a leaky hose or a rogue sprinkler spraying your sidewalk isn’t doing anyone any favors.
