| Plant Care thing you can do is amend the soil. Our gardens have thrived because we amended the soil heavily before planting. Adding compost to your soil is the best thing you can do for the plant. Mix the compost in at least 12 inches deep. Organic compost is the best, potting soil and potting mix are not compost. Getting plants established: All plants, even those that are very drought tolerant take time to establish in their new location. It takes times for the current roots to adjust to their new environment and for new roots to develop and reach a suitable size. Many drought tolerant plants can take up to one year, especially those with a long tap root, to get established. This means you need to water that drought tolerant plant on a regular basis until it becomes established and can then perform with less water the following years. Redding Full Sun Plants: Our gardens are mostly in full sun. We highly recommend if you are buying a plant for the Redding area for a full sun location that the plant states Full Sun only on the label. We have found most plants that say Full Sun, Part Shade means it needs to have shade and particularly from our hot afternoon sun. It is important that during our scorching summers that you water your plants regularly and deeply. We have found using a drip system is the best. |
