be due to alternating moist and dry
conditions in garden soil
There are certain times in the life
ol a segetablc when adequate water
is extremely important Potatoes
become knobby when garden soil
gets dry between waterings during
mid summer The knobby effect oc
curs because the spuds grow in
spurts, growing when there is
moisture, and slowing to a snail's
pace when they arc dry
C ucum bers and Lettuce are
generally bitter because o l genetic
parentage, but they will he more bit
ter it they "ve had to suffer from lac k
ol water during the vigorous grow
ing stages
Carrots and parsnips grown in soil
with fluctuating moisture levels will
be badly formed and hardly what
you are expecting when it comes
time to harvest
Maintain an even moisture content
level in your garden soil by water
ing regularly, controlling moisture
mbbing weeds and by using mulches
to save the moisture in the soil
Apply at least one half inch o f
water at each watering Measure the
amount o f water by placing a
shallow pan inside the garden
sprinkler pattern
Stop watering
when the pan has caught one half
inch ol water or more. Then, a day
later, dig down into the garden soil
to see how deep the w ater

penetrated Most garden vegetables
need water penetration at least s u in
ches down in the soil for plant roots
to grow properly
Nkalcr frequently enough to keep
stnl moist to a depth o f s u inches
ih c w atcr needs o f ht>mc grow ing
vegetables vary from garden to
garden
How much irrigation garden
vegetables require for optimum
growth depends on the garden soil
type, the rooting depth o f various
garden plants, and current weather
conditions
Morrow County's silt loan soils
hold about two inches o f w jtc r per
foot o f soil.
C o m . tomatoes and small shruhs
take water from the top one or two
tcet ot soil They need watering less
frequently than lawn grasses and
leaty vegetables, which take water
from |ust the upper eight to twelve
inches o f soil
Also, the amount ol water plants
use each da) depends on temperature
and wind conditions
l se plant symptoms as a guide to
the time tor irrigation When in need
of water, many plants show a dark,
hluish green color, or wilting, or
both These symptoms first appear
during the hottest part o f the day
Another method is to use a shovel
to check soil moisture content When
garden soil is dry to a depth o f su
inches watering is needed
Each irrigation should provide |ust
enough water to replenish what the
plants have used Lor best results
give the garden a thorough soaking
and then don't irrigate again until
n ecessary.
F o llo w in g
these
guidelines usually means applying
about one inch of water to the garden
ever $ 7 days O f a h i r sc if weather
Conditions change you'll have to ad
lust how you irrigate accordingly
Avoid frequent watering with
s m a ll amounts of water Lhis results
in excessive evaporation without
deep wetting in the root /one and en
courages surface nans that w ill suf
fer from drought unless the surface
is kept damp
Hand sprinkling isn't effective
because sufficient water is seldom
applied
f or most efficient water use, ir
rigate in the early morning less
wind and lower temperatures mean
more o f the water gets to the ru n
/o n e instead ol being lost to
evaporation
Other practices that w ill conserve
water are
Don't plant on mounds or hills (a
raised soil level with a rounded topi
because water won’t penetrate well
into the mounds, which then will dry
out quickly A Hat planting bed is
better lor taking in and retaining
moisture
In the cool, early pari o l the
growing season, use a plastic mulch
around to m a to e s , cu cu m b ers,
melons, peppers and other warm
season plants Plastic w ill warm the
soil in addition to conserving water
loiter in the season use an organic
mulch such as straw or grass to save
water and keep down weeds
Keep weeds under control
W eeds

vegetables plants
Keeping weeds out o f the home
landscape is a matter o f effectively
employing a variety o f control
mctluKis iik lulling weed prevention,
cro p m anagem ent techniques,
cultivation and herbicides
O f the control options available,
the safest lor vegetable gardens is
cultivation, the most effective for
lawns is crop management, the
easiest lor ornamental shrub beds is
herbicides and the method that holds
the greatest promise for the overall
landscape is weed prevention
In the vegetable garden, cultivate
shallowly and regularly to scrape out
young weeds and starve the peren
dial weeds by continual removal of
their tops Deep cultivation is un
necessary, and in fact may actually
spread perennial weeds by chopping
their roots and spreading the pieces
Lawn weed control efforts arc
assisted with herbicides, but the best
method of control is to manage the
grass crop so that it grows more
densely Proper fertilizer along with
adequate watering during the sum
mer season w ill help to keep many
o f the annual weeds to a minumum
in lawns
In woody ornamental beds there
arc a number ol herbicides that can
effectively control weeds Diclohcml
is a granular product that should be
applied immediately before irriga
tarn to control most annual and
perennial weeds
In situations where a mixture of
herbaceous and woody ornamental
plants prevent the use o f diclobcnil.
glyphosate can be used as a spot ap
lnation cither by painting it onto
ic weed or by spray ing carefully
. .Tw o new herbicides. P lua/ifop
