RE: Next Heavy Hitter
Jon,
RE:
...
I used over head watering this year which helped keep the patch evenly
moist and kept the ground under the leaves cool for longer periods during
the day. In the past I used drip line irrigation which left dry spots in
the patch. I think this was one of the biggest differences this year.
...
I'm interested in trying to automate my watering so I can have more time
(yes the patch time is fun but there are other things) - I currently use
over head misters which provide some water, but most of the watering I do is
by hand. I was considering using a drip system, or buried soaker hoses, or
soaker hoses on the soil surface. I've read so much about over head
watering promoting diseases that I wasn't considering this. Did you have
any more disease problems with the over head watering?
Thanks,
Kevin
