Deep root watering is a method of irrigating trees that delivers water below the soil surface directly into the root zone. It is essential for maintaining robust growth and resilience in summer. The best methods for deep root watering include using a garden hose, a soaker hose, and mulch.
Deep root watering involves directing the water to the roots of the tree, which absorb moisture from the soil as it soaks down. This helps the roots absorb the water and maintain their health. For newly planted trees, watering every day for the first 1-2 weeks is recommended, followed by 2-3 days for the next couple of months. Aeration tubes installed around the base and root area are common ways to execute deep watering techniques.
For established trees and shrubs, overhead sprinklers can be used to apply a deep watering over the entire root zone area until the top 6 to 9 inches of soil are moist. To achieve deep root watering, set the hose on a slow trickle or use a soaker hose near the base of the tree. Leave the hose on trickle for about 2 hours.
Deep root watering uses different systems to carry water about 8-12 inches into the ground instead of wetting the surface. To get deep watering, dig a trench around the drip line and slowly fill it with water. Adjust the trench as your tree grows.
