Watering your Garden

[ferice]

@Kansas Terri thanks for pointing this out to me. I've dealt with them in the past. It never crossed my mind to contact them. I sent an email to the m and will follow up with a phone call later in the week.
Thanks.

I prefer sprinklers. tried soakers, but really do not want to deal with placement of them. usually water in the evening if I have too so the sun does not suck up the water. We have lots of huge gardens, and lots of long hoses to move around if it gets bad and dry. Our farthest garden is about 100 paces from our back door. most our gardens are 20 foot by 20 foot.

I set the timer for 4 AM. I am hoping that is early enough to let the water get down the roots.

Sprinklers in the evening increases the risk of fungal infections, like mildew.

My main garden is 26 years old and you can see from pictures that they show no sign of fungal etc. Perhaps I water just enough. Will keep what I have been doing all these years as it seems to work.
