| 1314504 | 2012-11-24 18:32:00 | Thanks, so when you say longer, how long is that exactly? 2hr, 5hr? What's the best way to water different sections of the garden? Minimum 2 hours. But remember the hose is on low..... You mean they terraced it. Water different parts on different days, or all on the same day if time allows, up to you how you do it. And check first. We watered yesterday some parts, husband thought the strawberry garden was dry, but I dug down and no it wasn't, only the top inch. As strawberries hate being wet, I did not water that yesterday. |
