Why Plants Require Summer Protection

Shielding your plants during summer is crucial to ensure their survival amidst scorching heat. Implementing protective measures safeguards the vitality of your garden.

Avoid Overwatering

Watering plants in the morning helps them absorb nutrients more effectively before the sun hits the ground. Refrain from overwatering as it can make plants wilt and create fungal problems.

Shade Covers

Shade covers protect plants and block around 50% of the sunlight. You can buy or make them using old sheets and window screens.

Mulching

Use a light mulch to protect the soil from the sun, keeping it moist for long durations. Dried grass clippings work well for reflecting sunlight.

Avoid Heat Wave Fertilizing

Refrain from fertilizing your plants during a heatwave, as stressed plants do not need extra nutrients until they recover. Instead, wait for cooler weather before feeding them again. [{ "selector": ".aigln-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".cqwou-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 487px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Weed Control

Remove weeds from your garden once a week or at least twice a month. They infest your garden and take water and nutrients away from your plants.
