For the most part, our soil is perfect for desert plants. Desert plants like alkalinity. We have that. They thrive in low nutrient soil. Check. But to water properly, plants need free draining soil that holds onto a little bit of moisture. Not too much, not too little.
Hmm.
The question of how much and how long to water depends on how good soil is at absorbing moisture. We’ve outlined three DIY weekend projects for getting to know more about your soil: a simple water percolation test, taking on problem dirt one plant at a time, and a home brew recipe for soil feed.
