Preventing excessive evaporation is important for the effectiveness of all irrigation measures

Preventing excessive evaporation is important for the effectiveness of all irrigation measures.

For this reason, you should generally water or sprinkle in the evening hours. During the day, evaporation losses are very high, so that the plants lose too much water. As soon as after watering the soil surface has dried a little, the beds must be chopped. This creates an evaporation-inhibiting layer and also facilitates water absorption during subsequent rainfall.
