It is often said that irrigation is “more art than science.” If so, then growing dry should be considered “high art.”

From more toned and controlled plant growth to minimizing diseases and resource use, there are a host of benefits to growing dry. While not all plants may be considered “drought tolerant” per se, they all have an acceptable degree of “growing drier.” What is dry for a New Guinea impatiens crop will not be what is considered dry for lantana. No matter what crop we are talking about, there are opportunities to grow it drier, and I will cover some approaches to achieve this.
