Some watering wisdom sent by Natalie

It is important to realize that we are "watering the soil", so that it may thrive as a "living sponge cake". We are not watering the plants. The soil in turn then "waters" the plants. Keeping the soil alive will help retain water and minimize the water consumed. The best time to water mature plants during the summer is 2 hours before sunset when the heat of the day subsides. Cloud cover can necessitate earlier watering. John Jeavons
