Tips for Surviving a Summer Drought

Reader Contribution by Benedict Vanheems

Continue to enjoy good harvests this summer – here are some tips to help you deal with drought conditions in your garden.

Watering 

When water is scarce, prioritize what you use it for. The most needy plants are young seedlings, leafy salads, fruiting vegetables, and anything growing in a container.

If watering using a watering can, try using two at a time – it will halve the amount of time it takes to water, and will help you balance as you walk back and forth too. Or if your water source is far from your beds, use portable tank to transport water to where you need it.
