Some terracotta pots also sitting partially buried in large plant tubs containing kumquats and citrus trees that I water into. The water seeps through slowly, saves evaporation. Oh I want to move to Wales... rain all year!!!! What bliss, but I guess it also creates its own problems. :)Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-84875157634688585152015-12-18T23:02:57.655+10:302015-12-18T23:02:57.655+10:30Have you tried sinking either a plant pot or an up...Have you tried sinking either a plant pot or an upturned plastic 2 litre drinks bottle (slice off the bottom and push neck first into the soil) next to each pair of tomato plants. If you then water into the bottle or plant pots the water goes straight to the roots of the plants and there's less evaporation and the plants send their roots further down rather than being on the surface and risking scorching.<br /><br />Something that works well for me in the polytunnel and worked outdoors when we lived down South here in the UK, I don't need to do it as much outdoors here in the open on a Welsh hillside, we have rain all year round !!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-44857063716333530642015-12-15T22:41:16.308+10:302015-12-15T22:41:16.308+10:30Thanks Phil.

I have been helped enormously with setting up my little blog and it's so good to be able to pass on the little knowledge I have in regards to blogging! <br /><br />Earwigs, arnt they the worst?! Gosh I really dislike them, creepy little things. They LOVE new seedling too and have had entire veggie patches eaten by them when they have been bad. Like with most things I find having a bio-diverse garden helps keep them at bay, but you seem to have that well sorted so I'm afraid I have no suggestions to help! Except sympathy!
