As a general rule of thumb, your garden needs about an inch or two of thorough, infrequent watering, once a week . However, the frequency and amount of water will depend on several factors such as the type of soil, weather conditions, and the type of plants you have.
It's important to note that giving your plants a light surface watering every night or every other night isn't as healthy as a thorough weekly watering, which encourages roots to grow deeper rather than shallow.
For example, if you have sandy soil that drains quickly or if you live in a hot and dry climate, you may need to water your garden more frequently than once a week. On the other hand, if you have clay soil that retains moisture well or if you live in a cooler and humid climate, you may need to water your garden less frequently.
