ive seen moisture meters for tradespeople....plumbers etc...
but this type is just for garening?
you see, im a bit confused, every nursery in sydney have told me...watering every day is OK.... and on extreme hot days like today e.g it was like 40degrees celcius...
they say even watering twice a day is ok...as long as the soil is right....
koreshoffs even say "thats fine, our trees here are watered twice a day" as soon as he said that....u see deborah with the big hose drenching everything....
i have notice every written article, online, paper or book...all say dont water it too much etc etc. thats all i ever get...
but every single book and website are either from UK or USA..... temperatures there are very different to here.
humidity is way different..... someone told me in a hot summer day in usa is like 25 degrees celcius.... mate......in australia 25 degrees is a joke.......to australians thats like winter!
so obviously in thier climate, water is not needed as much.
i dono.............ill have it figured one day
or i should buy that Koreshoff book........ "bonsais in australia"
that should make a big difference to all the other articles ive read
