71. How often should I water vegetable towers?
In summer: once daily. In winter or cloudy weather: every 2–3 days. Adjust based on plant type and drainage.
72. How do I know if I am overwatering?
Symptoms include yellowing leaves, root rot, and foul smell from soil.
73. Can I automate watering in vertical towers?
Yes. Drip irrigation or bottle wick systems can maintain consistent moisture levels.
74. Why is water draining too fast in my tower?
This indicates a sandy or poor-quality mix. Add cocopeat or compost to improve retention.
75. What time of day is best for watering?
Early morning is ideal. Avoid watering in afternoon heat or late evenings.
76. Should I water from the top or each hole?
Top-down watering is fine for regular towers. But deep-rooted plants benefit from targeted watering at their level.
77. Do leafy greens need less water than fruiting plants?
Generally, yes. Leafy greens have shallow roots and dry faster but require smaller amounts.
78. Why are my tower plants wilting even after watering?
Possibly root rot or heat stress. Check drainage and roots. Water early and ensure no waterlogging.
79. Can rainwater be used for towers?
Absolutely! It’s soft and mineral-balanced. Just ensure proper drainage so roots don’t rot.
80. How do I water during travel or vacation?
Use drip timers, self-watering containers, or ask a neighbor. You can also place towers on capillary mats for short trips.
