Ah mine are in very large tubs so good access. :-)


Are yours growing in sun? You could try moving a few plants into a shady
area and seeing whether it affects the crop - if not, then you would
both get rid of the need for watering, and release a sunny area for
something else.

Full sun and it's only carefull watering on the *very* hot days. I have
a large tank which I top up from my water buts to feed a gravity fed
irrigation system.

I have about a dozen fruits in the garden and most are in tubs which are
supplied by this method.

Looking good supply for this year although the redcurrents have wind damage.

Kev,
