Watering
HOW MUCH?
Trees : Slowly water allowing water to soak into the soil. Ten gallons of water per time is generally acceptable for most trees (2" or less caliper tree trunk). A nything larger than a 2" requires adding ten additional gallon per inch of calipe r (3" needs 20 gallons). An alternative to a handheld garden hose is a five gallon bucket with one to two 1/8 of an inch diameter holes drilled in the sides near the bottom. Simply fill the bucket and let it leak slowly. There are also bag options for tree watering sold at most garden centers. Soaker hoses can also work but the time should be prolonged for at least four hours. ( Or contact High Prairie for Tree Diapers ) Shrubs & Perennials: Water at the base of the plant slowly enough for the water to soak in, about 20-30 seconds. During hot and dry conditions, allow water to soak in and repeat. Stop if there are puddles or runoff.
Tip: Let your plants and soil direct your decisions. If you have a maintenance partner, collaborate with them to achieve best results!
