Thank you all for the great response. I have double
checked my tap water temperature and it is 60 degrees. I will start my
heated water experiment at 80 degrees and see what happens. Because I live
near the coast our average summertime high temps are in the low to mid 80 degree
range. We don't have many days over 90 degrees and less than 7 days
over the 100 degree mark. Our low temps are in the mid 50's to mid 60's on
average. By drip watering my wood enclosed raised beds with the warmed
water just before night fall, I hope to keep my soil temperature up during our
cool evenings, the black plastic mulch I use should also help keep the warmth in
the soil for a long period of time. I have noticed how much faster my
cucurbits grow when subjected to warmer days and nights, I hope this experiment
will prove to mimic this warm weather growth trend. I will keep this list posted
on the results.
