Keeping yourself hydrated in the heat? DON'T FORGET YOUR PLANTS NEED WATER TOO! Summer often brings hot, dry spells when supplemental watering is a must. Here are a few things to keep in mind.
Tree Diaper Saves Plants from Drought Available in 18" & 36" Tree Diaper is a funny name for a watering device that was invented by Virginia Tech engineers. How does it work? Tree Diaper absorbs rain and/or irrigation water. Pellets absorb and hold water for an extended time. Water is slowly released to soil and plant roots. Great for our drought conditions.
Protecting Trees from Drought Stress Summer can be the most stressful time of year for landscape plants, with heat and drought being the main offenders. When not receiving sufficient moisture, plants are much more susceptible to insect and disease damage. Trees are the most valuable landscape plants and can be the most difficult to replace, so it is sensible that they should be given priority during periods of drought.
