So I see no point in letting plants die because they cannot find the water that other people are so adamant I have got. Sorry folks but you are talking nonsense. Not watering might work for you, but it certainly does not work for me. Digeroo, I certainly wasn't implying that you shouldn't water. What I did say was check to see if it's needed, and if it is do it properly and not just dampen the surface.
#Pescador. But other are suggesting there is no need to water. There is a thread about this almost every year. It really pisses me off. What people are basically saying is I am alright Jack because I do not need to water. Someone new came onto our site and told me the same thing. You do not need to water. Then had the gall to state that nothing would grow and there was something wrong with the soil. Yes there is something wrong with the soil, there ain't no water in it.So perhaps a test. Dig a hole and fill it with water. If there is water still visible after several hours you have a drainage problem. If like me you can never ever fill a hole with water even for a few minutes and the water simply disappears instantly then you have a drainage problem and need to water constantly and mulch, and improve the water holding capacity of the soil. Plants cannot find water that is not there.
Better things to do than standing there with a hose.
The problem is that there is no incentive for individuals not to over water as the total cost is divied up among everyone, so you may as well use your "fair share"..
