Rain Gauge In Garden
FarmI wrote:
Rain gauges aren't only used for figuring out how often to water a garden. In fact I'd say that I've never known any gardner round here who uses their rrain gauge in determing how often they water their garden beds. We use a rain guage to record rainfall so that we have accurate annual records for if/when we sell our farms. Buyers ask for that sort of information because it determines grazing. Additionally we also like to know how we're going in terms of rainfall by seasons and to compare it to long term averages. I think there is more benefit in knowing if you've had a dry or wet some over time so that you can figure out why particular crops did well or not so well. Artifical watering is also not the equivalent of rainfall in terms of production so knowing what fell from the sky as opposed to knowing what came from a tap is also part of that do well/rotten yield scenario. Besides if you know how much rain fell last night you always have something to say when you meet strangers. D |
