Irrigating Cucurbits
I've been hand watering the young plants, but I think it's time to
set up the drip irrigation for the year. The cucurbits look like they are ready to take off and the temps are in the 80's. It seems to me that every other plant is going to be more tolerant of how it is watered than the cukes. At least that's my experience! I have a Rain Drip single time/frequency timer. I wonder if I should water early, or just before the day heats up, perhaps 10 AM. Or should I get a timer that lets you set more than one specific time per day and water some in the afternoon when they are getting beat on. I'll be away for a while, so I'd like to program the best guess in. The soil seems to have average drainage and moisture retention. Not too heavy and with some humus to loosen it up a bit. Much better than last year when it was denser. Down 10" there is still a lot of red clay. Jeff |
