Tomatoes (Again) - Capillary Matting? - Again
Sorry to post again - but I am quite desperate.
I watered them to day - stood in about half inch of water - but I did
have to watch carefully to make sure not too wet.
Or - as my partner says- don't be so paranoid.
Anyone - pleeeeeeeze?
What do others do?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some may recall I lost all of my tomatoes do due damping off - (thanks
for all comments and support)
All of the replacements are coming along quite nicely - BUT I am
paranoid about losing them again.
I am currently watering the 10inch trays by standing in water until
the top of the compost starts to show moisture. But this is a pain -
and the surface of the composts dries out and cracks. All plants are
healthy and getting bigger so it is working.
However, I wonder if using capillary matting would be the answer -
giving a steady supply of moisture to the plants but without any
danger of over watering.
Suggestion/Comments please
