[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 284972, member: 4085"] Here in Sydney we have just gone off water restrictions/rationing after a 5 year long drought. As a result we have been getting water saving tips on our gardening programmes for the last four years. The general consensus is "Water in the evening". The idea is that the water gets its best chance to percolate deep into the soil before the heat returns the next day. Plant roots are encouraged to go deep in the cooler parts of the soil, shallow roots stay near the surface and lose moisture. Marg's already mentioned the lens effect of droplets if you water during daylight hours, we've lost plants because they got burned by the little 'lenses' Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
