Growing your own vegetables is a highly enjoyable and rewarding experience, though it does not come without effort. Watering is an unavoidable part of growing crops and many novice growers can find themselves wondering how often they need to water their plants.
Judging when to water plants, especially vegetables as many crops are very hungry plants, can be tricky. The regularity of watering is admittedly highly variable and can range from not at all, to every few weeks, to every day, but there are methods of helping you judge how often is often enough. By keeping track of the weather, working the soil to hold more moisture, watering deeply, and regularly checking the moisture levels in the ground, you can make a more informed decision on how often you should water a vegetable garden.
