Water in early mornings or evenings to reduce evaporation.
Monitor local precipitation levels for watering after planting. Water slowly to allow infiltration to roots and discourage run-off. In May & June water approx. twice a week, more frequently in July & August. Assess plants frequently.
MULCH
Mulch to increase permeability of soil and prevent evaporation. A donut of mulch will protect from mower and trimmer damage.
