do tomatoes use water overnight?

By late afternoon, the tomatoes are in shade, looking healthy but the soil is somewhat dry. I know it is bad for any plants to be wet overnight Get some plastic gallon milk jugs. Poke a hole in the bottom of each one with an ice pick. Place one beside each tomato plant, on the north side, so as snsot to shade the plant. Bury them slightly-- an inch or so. Water your tomatoes by filling each jug with water. The water will go into the soil where the roots are, and the foliage will not get wet. An additional advantage is that you will not be watering surface weeds. vince norris Now, THAT sounds like a plan for next year! Thanks! A soaker hose arrangement with our property layout isn't really do-able. -- Steve |
