Kitchen Gardener Mistakes (4)

4. Not watering properly. Both over watering and under watering are a problem. If you let the plants get too wet it is a recipe for disease. If they get too dry they will wilt.

Plants with deep roots will survive a dry spell much easier than plants with a shallow root system.
