1. Improve Soil Drainage Too much rain can lead to root rot and poor plant health.
2. Mulch Against Heat and Erosion A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps regulate soil temperature and moisture.
3. Protect Container Plants Potted plants dry out quickly in heat and can be drowned by downpours.
4. Monitor and Adjust Watering Rain might not always mean deep soil moisture.
5. Support Vulnerable Plants Storms can break stems and flatten tall growers.
6. Harvest Rain Smartly Install a rain barrel to collect and reuse water during dry spells.
