How often should I water plantings?
Good, consistent, deep watering for the entire first season is critical. When watering, run the hose at a steady, but gentle, stream using a gentle flow nozzle on your hose. Water in the morning hours if you can.
How much water is enough?
Remember, too much of a good thing is just as bad as not enough! Root rot and fungus are often results of over watering. Watering is environmentally dependent. Watch your soil for dryness and your plants for signs of stress. Remember, it's good horticultural practice to allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings. A long, soaking rain may eliminate the need for one watering.
For the first 2-3 weeks...
Water every other day using the following as a minimum watering guideline.
-
about 10 seconds at the roots of perennial plants
-
about 20 seconds at the roots of shrubbery
-
at least 60 seconds at the drip line of trees
After the first 2 or 3 weeks...
You may be able to decrease your watering to two or three times a week.

Adding Root Mater B1 once a week for the first six weeks will insure the optimum root growth for quick establishment. |
Winter Protection is very important!!
In November, WILT-PRUF should be sprayed onto all plants that hold their leaves in the winter. Make sure to spray under leaves as well as on top. Wilt-Pruf closes the stoma or pores in leaf structure to avoid winter winds from drying out the foliage. It is ideal to apply a second coat in February when temperature is above 40 Fahrenheit.
Mulch in the winter? Youbetchya!
Be sure to add mulch over your perennials and roses just before ground freezes to help avoid alternate thawing and freezing temperatures, which will injure roots. It acts as a protective blanket. This layer must be removed as soon as the growth starts in late March.
