How detailed must one be?


It wasn't clear to me either Geoff. I got the upturned flower pots with
large holes and the beans coming out of the top with the sticks and the
tying of the canes together but you lost me with the watering.


Now imagine some very dry weather also that somebody pours water through the
large drainage hole to a depth of about an inch twice a day direct to the
roots of the bean plants so as not to waste water on surrounding soil..


Do you mean pour water down the holes in the upturned pots? If so how
does that get to the roots? Or do you mean that having buried the pots
around the roots of said beans that the water will be confined to each
individual bean and not run off for the first two or three inches?

Sometimes what is clear to you isn't always clear when reading it in an
email!
