Watering plants in an urban planter box is fundamentally different from watering in-ground. Typically, planter boxes need watering more frequently—often daily in hot, dry, or windy weather. In-ground gardens, with their larger soil volume and cooler root zones, may only need deep watering once or twice a week. The key factors are container size, soil mix, plant type, sun exposure, and season. A small, sun-drenched box with herbs will dry out incredibly fast. Always check the soil moisture by feeling an inch below the surface; water thoroughly when it's dry. For in-ground plants, focus on deep, infrequent watering to encourage strong root growth. The golden rule for containers is: when in doubt, check, don't guess. Proper drainage is non-negotiable to prevent root rot. By understanding these differences, you can tailor your routine for a lush and healthy urban garden.
