Overwatering is one of the most common mistakes gardeners make. While plants need water to survive, too much water can suffocate the roots and lead to rot, especially in poorly draining soils.
To avoid overwatering, it’s essential to monitor your garden and understand the water needs of your specific plants.
Signs of overwatering include yellowing leaves, soggy soil, and slow growth. To prevent overwatering, use a moisture meter to check the soil’s moisture level before watering. Additionally, consider installing a drip irrigation system, which delivers the right amount of water to each plant without overwatering.
