In my opinion, and I am not a botanist or expert, I have a problem with the no overhead watering. Most plants are designed for regular rain. Not trying to be smart, but isn't that overhead watering that can occur at any hour of the day? Overhead watering can knock aphids off, keeps spider mites at bay, and in hot climates can cool the whole plant down. Keeping pests controlled and off plants, (which overhead watering can help do) limits the spread of disease. I think we could all come up with a few more reasons for the benefit of overhead watering. This is just my personal rant and there is more frustration here for plant problems that seem to be more prevalent since tissue culturing.
Daniel is being very nice and helpful with all of his suggestions. Daniel, I understand that you are just relaying the industry standard about watering. I appreciate that you gave multiple ways of control, makes us all think of our garden practices. Thank you for taking the time to put that together! Many blessings to you Daniel!
I agree with Sue. That is also good advice! Many blessings to you Sue!
God bless our efforts, plants, and America! And for those from other countries may God bless your country! Happy fourth of July!
