The roar of the clouds indicates that the monsoon has arrived. Just as a light rain brings relief after the scorching heat, this is when your garden needs the most care. A little carelessness can destroy garden plants. Heavy rain is a big danger if water gets frozen in the tub. Wet weather increases insect and fungal infestations. So prepare the garden in advance before the monsoon comes in full swing. Here are some simple tips to keep your garden full of flowers and fruits even in monsoon.

Pay attention to drainage

The main enemy of trees in monsoons is standing water at the roots. If the roots rot, it is difficult to save the tree. So the first thing to do is to check the drainage system of the tub. Many times, soil accumulates in the hole at the bottom of the tub and water gets stuck. Clean those faces by digging with a stick. It is important to dig and loosen the tub soil before heavy rains. It will lighten the soil. Excess rain water will also drain easily.

Elevate the tub

Keeping the tub directly in contact with the ground will cause problems with drainage. So place the tubs on iron shelves or bricks instead of directly on the floor. This will smooth the drainage of water through the bottom of the tub. One more thing to consider if you have a garden on the roof or balcony. Many times the mouth of the roof drain or drainage pipe is blocked by the soil washed away by the rain water. Water accumulation can damage the roof. So clean the mouths of the pipes well before the monsoons.

Maintain soil nutrients

Trees grow very fast after receiving monsoon water. Plants need extra nutrients during this growing season. So, before the sky-breaking rains start, mix organic fertilizers in the soil of the tub. If the soil is rich in nutrients, the plant will stay fresh throughout the monsoon season. This time is also ideal for planting new trees. If you want to plant monsoon season flowers or grain seedlings, prepare the soil from now. Seedlings planted at this time take root very quickly. Grows quickly.
