Watering problems.
« on: June 23, 2009, 07:58:10 »
Even in dull or cloudy weather, one is still supposed to water indoor Toms in bags. This year, I'm having problems.

Using a Moisture Meter, I find that:

!. Bags are still 'moist' or 'wet', even after a day with no water.
2. Some bags show moist when others are showing dry.

All plants are at much the same stage. All watering has been done to an identical count.

it goes to show the inconsistency of gro-bag contents!! also might show the difference in transpiration rates between different plants?

You couldn't make it up!

Tim I have the same issue with my toms in pots depending on location in the greenhouse the soil is Little wetter in some than others , plants differ depending to the light in my greenhouse .
I put this down to the fun of trying to be on top of it it puzzles my mind yet am still enthralled to wonder if ill ever get the better of it yet still remain sane enough to relies its just a tomato plant and its me trying to hard
