Mary, I have already ordered another 70 for spring. My new daylilies are even better!
The water will *never* get any higher than the the walls of the bed. So it would be hard for it to turn into a swimming pool, unless you make one of the mistakes I made, and try to use a wading pool. THOSE DLs were submerged, and I got them out of there post-haste.
Won't make that mistake again, that's for sure!
As to the science behind it, I'm not a scientist. I would assume it's related to water's insulating properties?
And I don't know why Lee Pickles did it, other than he heard about it from Tommy Maddox in MS, and was intrigued, and wanted to check it out for himself, same as I reacted when I heard about it from Lee, maybe?
