    This is super helpful thanks so much :) it rains every day here in Florida for 30mins -2 hrs so this helps out a lot. Also plants that have been sprouted that I’ve planted in the ground I still water every day ( they’re on a big dirt hill no way for water to collect) on top of the thunderstorms just to make sure they get enough water. Before I didn’t do that and the sun burnt them away I’m still testing out how much to water them. I had a bunch of hibiscus still in the seedling containers starting to get yellow leafs because of too much water. So I switched them to pots hoping for a better result.
    Thanks so much for the videos keep posting them everything really helps.

    Hi Jim I am in California and was wondering how many 1 gallon drip emitters you would place on one of those encore azaleas and how long you would recommend running it. I have yet to find a good video on drip irrigation. I know it varies by plant, height, zone, but there should be some sort of rule of thumb to get it almost right :)

    You gave great advice today. Thanks. I’m happy to say that most of the time I water correctly. One question- if the ground is saturated to the point that water is visible in a hole about 12 inches below the surface, should I raise the bed area to allow for the absorption?

    Hello Jim. I'm in zone 8b (Murrells Inlet, SC). My home is on 1.25 acres which I have been landscaping after a whole tear out of old and starting fresh. We have sprinkler irrigation that was existent that covers lawn and beds up against the house and we have added 2 new drip irrigation zones around the pool and my future veggie garden. I've been manually watering all of my new plantings so far. My question is, how long should sprinklers run on lawns, vs new and/or established flower beds (mulched) vs drip irrigation where tubes are under the mulch (holes spaced 18" apart)? I'm afraid of over or under watering and I've never had a yard big enough to automate and have always watered manually. Thank you in advance for your time. Really trying to protect my investment :)

    Q1: so don’t use a drip system & timer on shrubs because only water as needed & drip can not saturate it , ( water by hand)?
    Q2: do we mulch on top of the root ball or not ? One of your videos said no but this one you have it on top of the weeping tree ?
    TIA

Creating a container around tree instead of raised bed. Transplanting roses into the soil is hard enough physically. Lol. Please advise.

    I have one question that I have never found the answer to. When I go to the nursery I observe that the shrubs and trees are watered every day. It seems for hours. So, I have been following that practice. During the hot summer months of July and August in Zone 7 I water all the plants for a few seconds every day. Yet, the video advises deep watering once a week. How do you reconcile the two?

    Thank you for the great advice I have a different scenario that I didn’t see you cover and would love some advice. I recently dug up two bloodgood Japanese maples that were pretty stretch out due to to much shade they were at a family members house so I dug them up as best I could trying to get as much of the root ball as I could it was about 24/36 inch wide. I planted them and at first did great but now the leaves are pretty much all wilted expect for one or two branches on both trees I took your advice and cut the new growth off the top of the end but still hasn’t made any noticeable difference. With the fact that a significant amount of the roots were lost when digging up should I be keep the root ball moist until it has time to respond from the transplant shock or should I still wet the area dry out before watering again thank you so much in advance
