Soak the ground thoroughly each time you water. Watering will be needed more frequently in warmer climates. Most plants that recieve a thorough watering once or twice a week will tend to have better root development that those water less thoroughly but more often.
Cultivation Cultivate the soil around individual plants and between rows.
Use care not to damage the roots of plants. Cultivated soil will discourage weeds and allow water to better penetrate the soil. Thinning Seedlings should be thinned twice. Thin once when plants are well established and once when plants are mature. Crowding the roots will slow growth and crowding between vegetation will reduce sun light penetration.
