Broccoli needs cool, moist soil. During its installation, at the time of the first heat, mulching the broccoli promotes good water management by the soil.
The water needs of broccoli
Broccoli has average needs and suffers as much from lack of water as from excess watering. Mulching can be helpful to prevent evaporation and promote broccoli growth.
Signs of Broccoli Lack of Water
Broccoli color fading.
Water quality
Cabbage has no special requirements. It does not like water with an acid PH (in general, water, even recovery water, is not acidic).
Necessary equipment for the jet broccoli
Watering can. Broccoli prefers precise watering by hand to prevent its foliage from getting drips.
How often do spray broccoli
After transplanting, water once or twice a week to keep the soil cool and moist, peaking at two or three during really dry spells. Once mature, jet broccoli needs less water: a weekly watering will suffice.
Water preferably at night, late in the evening, or early in the morning.
