No Rain In Weeks! Why Drought can Be Good for Farms, Gardens and Lawns!
What happens here
The overall goal of these management practices during dry times is to stress the plant just enough to encourage it to send roots deeper into the soil. This deep root growth breaks up soil compaction, improves soil structure, and ultimately leads to a better quality of forage, lawn, or garden. In the fall, when wet seasons return, the improved soil structure will allow water to penetrate deeper, further enhancing the benefits. The land will 'pay you dividends' in terms of more robust and productive growth in subsequent seasons. So, during hot, dry spells, remember to let your grass grow taller, avoid over-watering the garden, and let your plants work to build their vital, deep root systems.
Goal: By managing stress and allowing plants to develop deep roots, you will cultivate healthier soil and more resilient grass that thrives even during challenging weather conditions.
