00:00Nine tips on how to revive your garden after intense heat waves.

00:05Monitor pests and disease early.

00:07After heat stress, inspect plants daily for pests.

00:11Treat early with insecticidal soap or neem oil, and remove debris promptly.

00:16Prune and remove dead growth.

00:18Prune away sun-damaged foliage with sanitized cuts above healthy buds to redirect energy

00:23to new growth and prevent disease spread.

00:26Apply organic mulch.

00:28Spread a three-inch layer of organic mulch around plant bases to retain moisture, moderate

00:33soil temperature, and support beneficial organisms.

00:37Deep watering techniques.

00:39Water slowly in the early morning with a soaker hose or drip system to encourage deep roots

00:44and reduce evaporation.

00:46Replenish soil nutrients with compost.

00:49Top dress beds with well-aged compost, working it into the top inch to provide slow-release

00:54nutrients and boost beneficial soil microbes.

00:58Introduce heat-tolerant native species.

01:01Plant heat-tolerant native species like yarrow or coneflower in clusters to create microclimates,

01:07attract pollinators, and improve garden resilience.

01:11Shade and shelter strategies.

01:12Use shade cloth, burlap screens, or umbrellas to diffuse harsh sun.

01:16Reduce plant stress, maintain air flow, and prevent disease.

01:20Revive soil microbiome with worm castings.

01:23Sprinkle worm castings around plants and water and to introduce beneficial microbes that

01:28boost immunity, nutrient uptake, and soil structure.

01:31Gradual acclimatization for seedlings.

01:34Harden off seedlings over a week by gradually increasing sun exposure, building stronger cuticles,

01:40roots, and overall resilience against stress.
