Well, I agree with the deep water/less often regimen. It's my stubborn
partner who thinks the soil is too shallow for it to work, so he
decided 15 minutes of water a day would be swell. And, by the way, he
fancies himself an expert at most things. I'll fiddle with the
sprinkler system while he's at work. That should fix it. *grin* Better
to apologize (or be thanked) later than to ask permission now, right?
