I've been curious about this issue, too... asked a question a while back
about warming, or at least de-chilling, water when I already live where it's
too darn hot. Maybe cool water would be refreshing for the plants???
But I did hear from Frank Millican in Louisiana who uses soaker hoses
directly to the patch - no warming tank - and he grew a new state record
down in that heat.
I don't think anyone really knows the answer to this question yet.
