Drought. Such a depressing word. After all, that means that there is something lacking. And when you think of drought making its way to your beloved garden or lawn, do you not just get the shivers? Definitely that is something that you do not want to happen. After all, that lawn or garden that you have is the product of your hard work.
Well, it is going to be a surprise if you do not know what drought is. After all, it is a phenomenon which has been happening all around the world and children have been taught about it for years. In fact, it can be found in history books and it also is found in stories from the Bible. Drought is something that happens to the soil and when it happens, the effects can be disastrous especially if the phenomenon happens on a larger range of soil and stays for a long period of time.
The kind of drought that happens to your garden is really simple. In fact, it may not bring about much effect to the people interacting with your lawn or garden. However, if you will look at drought at a much larger scale, that is when you will know just how serious the problem of drought can get. The serious thing happens when the phenomenon stays for a longer period of time and takes up a larger amount of area. Now that can really affect livestock and the crops. On a smaller scale (which is your lawn or garden), when drought sets in, that would mean brown patches which may not really affect your health that much but it will affect the way you feel about it. After all the things that you have done for your lawn, you definitely do not want to see it looking like this. Knowing about drought and what you can do will be your weapon.
What you should know about watering your lawn or your garden is that even if you do water it frequently, it does not mean that drought will not make its home there. The thing is, there are certain things that you should follow when it comes to giving your lawn or garden the moisture that it needs. Even if you do water it frequently without the right amount of water, it does not penetrate deeper. The sun may steal it. Other weeds may also use the water instead. But the grass just is not getting the water it needs. With that comes drought.
Now you should not lose hope because there is always a solution to every problem. It is just about finding that solution. In this case, what you should be focusing on is to actually make sure that you are giving your lawn or your garden the right amount of water. Regularly check if the water has made its way deep enough to provide moisture for the plants. Ten inches is the key here so make sure if the water has gone that deep. - 30228
