Alternate Time to Water

Although the early hours are best, they are not always convenient times. The second best time to water is between 8:00 p.m. and midnight. Pressure is usually lower, but evaporation is still low.

Midday watering is not effective, particularly in hot climates. Half of the water is usually lost to evaporation, making it very hard to wet the soil to the proper depth.
