The rains significantly reduce the need to water the plants. Heavy downpours once a week keep the soil moist, especially in humid weather, giving us more time for weeding and adding manure. It’s best to add well-decomposed manure just before it rains for the best effect. Completing weeding before adding manure helps lower nutrient competition and slow down weed growth, making them easier to manage. Weeding also loosens the soil, helping the manure mix in well. After heavy rain, it is less likely that the manure will be washed away, showing the need to apply compost or manure before heavy, regular rains to avoid soil and compost loss. Planting trees in shallow trenches or pits helps water soak into the ground instead of running off.
