Blooming out of season is a common response to stress, ususally stress from extreme weather. -- David E.

According to current Secretary of State John Kerry, we know that the Russians and Chinese have hacked the State Department's servers. In the meantime, a claim by the Romanian hacker known as Guccifer (Marcel Lehel Lazar) that he hacked into Clinton's E-mail server proved false. |

I have been wondering if this might be a practical way to keep trees watered without having to water the grass. http://i63.tinypic.com/11si74p.gif |

I have been wondering if this might be a practical way to keep trees watered without having to water the grass. http://i63.tinypic.com/11si74p.gif I used a post-hole auger -- not a power one but one I had to lean on and turn by hand -- to sink two holes about 3 feet deep around a tree. I bought some plastic drain pipe about the diameter of the holes and the length equal to the depth of the holes plus about 3 inches. I drilled several 1/2-inch holes near one end of the pipe, which became the bottom end. After placing the pipes into the holes, I capped them with drain caps. I failed to fill the pipes with pea gravel. After a number of years, dirt filled the pipes. That prevented their further use for irrigation. Yes, use pea gravel. -- David E.

Will do it next weekend. What diameter pipe would you recommend? Lovely wife will like that better than having a bunch of buckets in the yard. |

The diameter should be slightly less than the diameter of the hole. That all depends on the post-hole auger. I think I used 3-inch pipe. -- David E.
