when best to water plants?
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. Archimedes Plutonium, whole entire Universe is just one big atom where dots of the electron-dot-cloud are galaxies |

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. "Archimedes Plutonium" wrote in message ... I collect and save rainwater for watering plants.

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. Frank Martin wrote in message ... Ignore the ratings of the resident troll.
