So i have been thinking in taking advantage of the outstanding weather in my region, lots of hours of sun. One of the things that bothers me the most is having to make a lot of trips to water outdoor trees to avoid letting them go dry, or giving more chances to be seen at my spots.
In my quest for info this is what i have found so far any more suggestions or feedback on this Mater is appreciated.
1- Swell Gel, polymer that takes water you guys must know what this is, i found some places online to buy it and so far the only setback is some of you say it changes the flavor...
2- Blumat ceramic cones, i have no idea how to get them at a reasonable price but i saw a model that sucks the water from a container and you bury it near the plant and when the heat kicks in and drys it takes pressure to suck the water.
3- Adding 10% perlite and a good amount of coco so water is stored for longer periods and air is supplied to the roots.
4- WetPots, this come with a 30Lt reservoir so its not really discreet but also delivers to the root system so no loss to evaporation...
The climate here is extremely hot sometimes breaking 42Cº or more and very dry is a tendency also... planting in april and may im sure a true giant emerges so i guess the bigger the plant the more water it takes...
Any more suggestions or experiences anyone?
