On our site people having been using hosepipes all week.I'm convinced 90% of the water is wasted, evaporating before it ever gets to the roots.I dug a bed over yesterday, preparing for fennel and found that under the surface it was still quite dampAnother bed where I am about to plant sweetcorn has been covered with woven mulch since April cultivation is still damp to the surface with the mulch reducing evaporationAnd I'm in the North Yorks dustbowl too!
I am in mirfield west yorkshire and it is the same here very dry like dust as others have said.Luckily we have a water supply but it dries out in a very short time after watering with it being so hot all day plus the ground is staying warm for a longer time into the evening.About a week a go it was colder/rain and some frost about now we have these very hot temps and no rain so we cannot win can we!
It's gone quite dark here- could this be it?? (Not holding my breath!)
