here is a quote i found on the net:
"
Dr. Noel Jackson, professor of turf management at the University of Rhode Island at Kingston, took me around the watering clock. Morning is best, he said, mostly because it isn't afternoon or evening. Watering during hot, sunny afternoons wastes some water because it evaporates and never gets into the ground.
There is no evidence of a magnifying-lens effect (water droplets intensifying the sun's rays and burning the leaves), but belief in that stubborn myth persists. Evening watering should be avoided because the water lingers on the leaves and encourages fungus diseases."
anyone have any real life experience of burning their leaves?
