10. Pick container-grown produce often Ripe fruit and vegetables left on the bush or vine send a signal to the plant to stop producing new fruit and veggies and to focus instead on ripening seeds. If you’re hoping for a steady harvest of eggplants, tomatoes, beans or strawberries, keep picking them. Container-grown edibles also benefit from consistent watering to form evenly juicy fruits. Keep to a hand-watering schedule or hook your pots up to drip irrigation.
8. Use low-water plants as a living mulch Mulch – including bark chips or straw – helps keep the soil cool and prevents water loss through evaporation. One trick for potted trees or shrubs is to use ground cover plants as a living mulch. Choose ground-cover plants with low-water needs so they don’t compete with the tree for too much moisture. The succulents planted below this orange tree, for example, help prevent the soil from losing water and look far more decorative than bare dirt.
