Drought Protection

We know we must wear sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, and protective clothing to prevent sunburns. We understand that we need to keep hydrated. We know you’re reading this article because you care about your garden. You know you must protect your plants from too much heat and the risk of dehydration to protect them against wilting, drying up, and ultimately dying.

But for many gardeners, the response to heat and dryness is simply to water, water, water. While this might be well-intentioned and sound reasonable, watering is more of an emergency response and is not necessarily the best way to deal with drought, whether it’s an isolated scorching day or many hot days in a row. To deal with drought in a truly effective way, you need to understand a little about how plants work.

How Plants Make a Living

Just like people, plants get their energy from carbohydrates and fats. But animals get their carbs and fats from plants. As far as plants are concerned, animals are predators, parasites and only occasional business partners. Plants make their food. Plants eat light. They breathe in carbon dioxide and drink, making carbs from these three inputs: oils through the magic of chlorophyll (the thing that makes so many plants green) and a chemical process called photosynthesis (derived from the Greek words meaning ‘putting together with light’).
