This is Jenny from My Garden Nursery!  I am enjoying an ice-cold Flamingo Freeze from the Purple Flamingo Cafe at My Garden!  The extreme heat may be over but it’s still hot and your garden may need a little extra hydration for the rest of the summer.  I can suggest a couple ways to make watering your garden easier by using handy tools.

First, a watering bag is great for trees. Fill it a couple times a week and let the water slowly seep into the soil.

Soaker rings get hooked up to a hose and the water drips around your tree or shrub. Both of these tools get the water into the roots, not the air where it quickly evaporates.

These tools save time, money and water. Make sure to use good quality products.  See the experts at your local nurseries like My Garden for drought tolerant plant choices that do better in heat like this. Mulching with a wonderful organic compost is another way to keep your plants hydrated while also feeding the soil.
