[QUOTE="Star*, post: 285469, member: 4964"] This is fact: If you are watering it is always best to water grass, plants in the morning. The reason being is that plants love humidity. They thrive in it. If you water in the morning the sun from the day will work with the water to create humidity and gives the plants more humidity. It also means that they have more dry roots for the night time. Most grasses, plants do not like to have their roots wet all night long. It can cause root rot. And like Loth said - rot creates mushrooms. Little known fact - if you are growing tomatos - they require 1 gallon per day per plant and do NOT like to have their leaves wet. A little rain is going to fall into every tomato plant life - but they prefer to be watered at the base of the plant avoiding misting as much as possible. Also there is a definite guide to planting a garden called a companion guide. Just because you put it in the garden doesnt' mean it will get along with it's neighbor. There are plants that thrive together very easy child and others that will get along like difficult child and easy child. (no I'm not kidding) Another tip - when you are transplanting a plant - some need only go up one pot size - and if you don't have broken shards of terra cotta pots to put in the bottom for drainage -= try a coffee filter so that the dirt doesn't run out into the saucer!! If you ever have any questions about what soil or mixing or pot size or what likes what in a garden please pm me I'll be glad to help. I love to grow stuff. I mostly love to take stuff from people that is technically on the brink of death and put in in my plant hospital and nurse it back to health. Everything in my front yard was grown that way - [/QUOTE]
