should i be watering my allotment every night at the minute,
I find the more you water the more you need to. I'd only water the bits that need it for me it's the salad crops and new trees for this year and then it's only twice a week but they do get a good soak then I go back and soak again so I know it's going down where it's needed.
Next year I'm planning on planting on ridges and watering between the rows.
it is far better if possible to be watering a heavy soaking weekly
watering every day generally encourages shalllow rootingt and the evaporation of the water is it is generally only in the top few mm
