That's what i do and then add TT a couple of times through the season. Not saying it's the best though.
How do you get anything liquid to stick around? I'm having to water ALOT lately, things are in surivival mode and not really growing due to heat.
It might be best for me to put a saucer under some of these containers and bottom feed.
I wonder if I stuck a gallon pail out in the full sun how long it would make it before it went bone dry. It be HOT.
In years past, containers rebound really well in the fall (esp. peppers) when the weather gets tolerable again.
I'll be watching this thread to see what kind of ideas you container gurus have to say.
I think it is also best to talk about what kind of merchandise we are talking about. Obv. tropicals, fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, flowers - may provide different method for each, IDK.
Just some lame ideas and thoughts....... carry on.
