Many beginner gardeners don’t know the proper way to water a vegetable garden. In this weeks Quick Gardening Tips I share 3 tips to help new gardeners learn the best way to water vegetable plants. Learning how to water your garden can greatly increase your success. When gardening in the desert it is really important to use proper watering techniques so you are not wasting water and also not damaging your plants. How to water your vegetable garden, when to water vegetables, and how often to water vegetable plants. Vegetable plants can easily be damaged due to improper watering, or may have low fruit production due to poor watering habits.
A common question I get from beginner gardeners is “How much should I water?” There is no easy answer to that question, but if you learn to water properly your plants will actually help you to know if they are getting too much water, too little water or just the right amount of water.
Bonus Tip: Using a drip irrigation system with a timer is a great way to be sure you are watering correctly.

Tell us about your shade/ wind structure
I like your videos. Got here after having developed a vegetable garden on my farm with sprinkler irrigation. Not a disaster, but quite a few plants seem to be suffering from fungus and other diseases related to watering coming from the top, which convinced me I had to start looking at root watering and therefore drip irrigation. I aim at practicing regenerative agriculture (obtaining yields from systems as close to natural ecosystems as possible), and I struggle to understand why a system that replicates rainfall (sprinklers) is less efficient than a more artificial system (drip irrigation). What I mean is that when it rains, the drops do not fall straight next to the roots without touching the leaves. I am not questioning the fact that it is, as I have experienced it first hand (as mentioned above), I just don't understand why it is the case. Any theories?
