dyzzypyxxy said:Most people think it's healthier for the plants to water in the morning, Greg. The reason, and this applies especially in humid climates but is true everywhere, is that leaving the foliage wet over night is an invitation to fungal infection. If you're able to just flood the soil and root zone, it's not so bad.


That works for me better too because I work swing hours and like being out in the morning air. By the time I get up, everybody has reached work and it's quiet (less traffic noise).
