One of the most important gardening tools of choice comes with the lowest price tags. In fact, not only that every gardener can afford one of these, but just the design, every gardener automatically comes equipped with one the most effective irrigation tool known to man. I'm not talking about curly hoses or watering cans fancy or even denatured, ionized and pre-reduced water. Nope. I'm referring to the gardener's index finger. And if you are missing all ten digits, (they're nice substitute for one another), have one of these highly sensitive moisture meters.

The most common cause of houseplant death of seedlings and the garden at this time of year is irregular watering, but with the use of a common finger, the plant can be made ​​from 100% sure on their shelves.

to begin with, touch the surface of potting soil with your finger. If there is any moisture at all left on your finger, if it feels damp at all, and then pot does not require watering. However, if the finger comes away feeling dry then a pot of water required. And the water we will have a soaking pot so that water flows from the bottom of the pot in a saucer. This ensures that all parts of soaking the root ball are wet and makes happy every root, it also flushes out the excess salt from the soil. Allow the water to sit in the saucer for an hour to soak in a pot, then dump the excess water.

Do not water again until the soil is still dry to the touch. Check every few days, so it touches the ground, but do not be tempted to water until your finger comes away dry. Keep your finger in the form and your plants will follow suit.
