How often should I water my plants? The million-dollar question answered
Briefly

There are some rules of thumb that will help you keep your crops hydrated during peak watering season. Different plants have different water requirements, so your watering plan will depend on what you're growing, the conditions they're growing in, and the weather.
Morning is the best time to water plants, as it avoids water evaporating quickly during midday. Watch out for the wind, as it can dry out soil. Stick your finger in the soil to check moisture levels - it doesn't require a fancy device.
Frequent, lighter sprinklings cause shallow root development, while less frequent but generous drinks encourage deeper root growth. Adjust watering frequency based on plant type and weather conditions; at the height of summer, some plants may need more water.
