    hi all

    i am a new member and keen amerture gardener. i have been working on a solar powered rainwater collected sprinkler system as i was told (by my mum) that drip systems are not very good at all.
    all i need to know really is how much watering do my plants need??
    i am growing a wild meadow garden and have a greenhouse and am automactically watering all 3 times a day-is this too much?

    please help as im new at this but i dont want to kill my plants :)

    Solaris, I would say that it depends on the plants and the soil. Its not (for me) an exact science i feel the soil :wub2:and decide weather to water or not. I am sensing :dunno:that this wont help!

    I've resisted the temptation to water tonight.
    A higher authority insisted on helping out.

    It aint half wet out there:thumbsup:
