Quality Watering Techniques
Selection of a quality growing media and good potting techniques are the backbone in the production of quality bedding plants. What may not be so obvious, however, is that the why a growing media is watered can have profound influences on the final result. That plants need water to survive may not be a big surprise, but how to water, and how to avoid overwatering are techniques which must be learned. If you are not familiar with physical properties of water, such as cohesion, adhersion, and capillary action then this article is for you.
