"Buy a cheap timer, you can install cheap delivery systems too, the results... less stress, more yield, and more time to manage the plant itself. PERIOD".. Akmark, Good advice. I thought I could keep up watering morning and afternoon but in July/August those containers cook. Any that wilted slightly got BER. BTW, I use peat, 1/2 ton of builders sand at $17, and free aged manure with good results. 2 plants per 18 gallon (approx.) container.
