Plant Material in the Heat of Summer
We are in the middle of the heat and humidity of the summertime and we have several weeks until the temperatures are cooler. While we can duck in doors and enjoy the comforts of air conditioning and a tall glass of lemonade, unfortunately our landscapes cannot. With plant material out in the heat, the logical idea is to give the plant material more water, so the landscape doesn’t dry out. You will find that a great deal of plant material will still dry out when watered daily. How does this happen and how can you control this from happening?
