Watering the Garden (Q&A)

The simple act of watering plants is one that seems particularly difficult to master. Gardener Scott discusses how and when to water, how to do it effectively, answers gardening questions, shares gardening philosophy, and more. (May 4, 2026) ⚠️ PLEASE READ THE LIVESTREAM GUIDANCE HERE: ⚠️ ⚠️ If you put ”@Gardener Scott” at the beginning of your question, it will be easier for me to see. QUESTIONS WITH ALL CAPS ARE NOT HELPFUL. ⚠️ As I see questions, I’ll do my best to answer in the order they appear. However, if someone gives a "super chat" or “super sticker” with a question, their question becomes a priority and moves to the front of the queue. Channel members will receive priority. Comments that pertain to the topic of the week are also more likely to be acknowledged. ⚠️ Because I have a limited amount of time, if I miss a super chat question this week, it will be answered at the beginning of my next livestream next week. ⚠️ Your super chat/sticker is a donation that I appreciate very much. ⚠️⚠️ I’m answering YouTube questions to give actionable tips you can use to become a better gardener. While I have many years of gardening experience and training, please understand that every garden is different and my suggestions may not be the best action for your garden. I encourage you get information from other sources too. Thanks for your understanding and support!
