What it means

What that means for what you grow

  • Pots and hanging basketsWorth checking by hand even so — a pot in the sun can dry out in a wet week, because there is so little soil to hold anything.
  • Beds and bordersNothing needed. Watering soil that is already wet does more harm than good.
  • New plantingsAnything planted within the last month is the exception; its roots have not spread far enough to find water on their own.
