Re: CULT:Watering Twice a Day

Walter,

(Wondering why sprinkling with overhead
>sprinklers causes more rot than rainfall).

I can't tell that does make a difference.  I'm just as apt to have rot,
maybe more so, after rain at the wrong time than I am to cause it by
overhead watering.  I get the most rot without either - the ground is dry,
dry, dry and the rot still appears.  It's there and I'm dealing with it,
then get the rain.  In that situation, the rain does seem to exacerbate the
situation.  As would watering by any method, I think.  Probably my own
estimation of a lot of rot is somewhat less than it is for others.  Half a
dozen plants out of four hundred or so probably doesn't qualify, but for me
it's a major worry.  I use overhead watering a lot, too.  Because it's
faster and I get more water out where I want it.  I don't think it's the
preferable method, just easier in my situation for the time being.
