I collect and save rainwater for watering plants. Now the question arose
as to when to apply the rainwater. Is it best to apply the rainwater
shortly after the rain itself so as to give each tree a double dose of
water or is it better to wait for a dry spell and to water the trees
with that water.

Question: better to apply all the water at once from a rain or better to
apply smaller amounts in dryer times.

The thing I am concerned about is in a drought period, is it good to
apply water in a small region of a plant where some of the roots get
water but other parts of the tree remain sort of dry. Seems like it is
feeding some roots but other roots still in drought mode.

Use your imagination, Archie poo!!!!

Do a google search on the topic, you deficient gomer.

Ignore the ratings of the resident troll. I have used a bag and drip feed
to maintain plants while I'm away on holidays. These are the devices used
in hospitals to feed patients intravenously, and they (the devices) work
just as well for water, and the rate of drip can be adjusted. Of course a
wine-cask bag can be used for greater capacity. While I'm in the mood, let
me advise on how to feed your cat while you're away. Simply buy a large
carton of dried cat food pellets and cut away a 1-inch square opening at the
bottom. Then glue the carton base to the ground with the cut-away opening at
the bottom. Your cat will use its paw to extract all the food it wants, and
birds attracted to the pellets give pussy some dietary variety. I must rush
now before the ogre-troll comes and bites my head clean off.

Maybe its time someone should be frank with Frank? Archie's postings are
getting increasingly off-topic and more basic all the time. He insists upon
asking questions about basic gardening and whatever whim enters his dizzy
brain. You should not take his babbling seriously, Frank. You telling Archie
to use IV bags to water plants and how to feed your cat is just as wacky as
anything Archie comes up with. So it seems the two of you are just two peas
in the same crock pot!!! You better rush off and take your meds now, Frank.

You'd rate him that high on the Troll-o-Meter? Have you had that thing
calibrated lately?
He's been trolling alt.binaries.pictures.gardens and rec.gardens as well as
here, and has made himself about as popular as a turd in a punchbowl. Plonk
him. You won't miss much.
