Watering of runner beans
I thought it was perfectly clear that if one has, in the soil, a runner
bean plant growing through a large hole in the base of an upturned 8/9 inch flower pot and one puts about an inch of water in the pot, the roots of the bean would be watered but it seems that some people must be as thick as the clay subsoil in my garden for they could not understand how the bean roots were watered!!!! Lionel - unsubscribing. |

Then you could water more easily and it would also not make such a good hiding place for sanails. But then, to Lionel's mind, I'm thick!! No off course you're not. I had a thought about this for ages - it's quite difficult to understand why some people have different way or logic to do things. Here, at work, we run into this a lot with the way we design. We would in the end achieve the same design, but we go about it a different way. I think with Lionel it's the same. Though you did had a point with the snails ...! |

I still don't see the point of the pot, cut a pop bottle into 6 inch rings and use those, you'd get wind protection for the first few days, no light loss, no place for pests to hide, and if you were going to hoe the ground, protection from a careless cut with the hoe.

David Hill Abacus Nurseries Quite! I couldn't see the point either but thought I was misunderstanding the watering bit. ............. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Pam,
Thank you for your comments but I like the idea of a clear water bottle. -- Baal I smile and go off waving (Amiably) - for that's my way "Janet Tweedy" wrote in message ...
