Re: Seeking Wall-O-Water info...

Dennis:

I've been using wall-o-water for several years now.  They do work well as
far as moderating day and night temps early in the season when the
weather is unsettled.  They will not do much as far as warming the soil.
And if the soil remains cold the plants will just sort of sit there until
it warms up. Therefore I use a black plastic mulch to warm the soil in
conjunction with the wall-o-water. Usually put out the plastic around
March here.
