Water is a precious resource that is becoming scarcer and therefore more expensive in many regions and should be used as sparingly as possible. Nevertheless, during longer periods of drought in both vegetable and ornamental gardens, it is essential to apply water if you do not want to miss out on the harvest and flowering splendor. In addition to the pure water requirements of the plants, it should also be noted that nutrients can only be broken down into a form that is available to the plants if the soil is sufficiently moist. In order to keep water consumption as low as possible - this is especially true when using tap water - various measures should be taken: those that reduce water requirements from the outset, as well as the use of the right irrigation strategies that ensure the greatest possible benefit for the plants.
