Should you water garden in morning or night? Morning watering is actually preferable to evening watering as the plant has time to dry before the sun goes down. At night, water tends to rest in the soil, around the roots, and on the foliage, which encourages rot, fungal growth, and insects.
What time is it best to water garden? The most efficient times to water your garden are when the sun will have the least impact, either early morning and/or late afternoon/evening. The best time to water your garden would be when it’s still cool in the morning but isn’t too late and dry.
Should I water my garden every night? You need about an inch of water a week for gardens planted in the ground. This will give you a good baseline for weekly watering. Giving them a light surface watering every night or every other night isn’t as healthy as a thorough weekly watering, which encourages roots to grow deeper rather than shallow.
Can I water my garden at 4pm? To choose the best time for watering the garden, try to water in the morning when the sun is not too hot, so that the water can soak into the soil without evaporating first. If you can’t in the morning, aim to water after 4 pm, so that the sun won’t burn the plant’s leaves if they get wet.
