Hi Travis

It depends on the particle sizes you used.

You would almost be growing it hydroponically if you did that and therefore would have to use a mix with bigger particles sizes so that their roots although wet can still get enough oxygen to stay healthy)

That is why a few use the 'gritty mix' with particle sizes a bit bigger than what the original recipe calls for)

Still that hot? You poor thing and your trees. Maybe it's time to take them in for a dip with you in a pool. Ha Chat soon

Nice to hear from you Mike :)

Yep, still hot. We will probably dip back into the 90s a few more times but triple digits will be our norm now until the second half of September. How is your weather? Still beautiful? I saw another post of yours recently highlighting how everything is in bloom. Lucky dog!

I will take from your comment that I should still be careful with watering and not overdo it. I wondered if my mix was fast draining enough and porous enough, the roots would likely stay damp but still get oxygen. But I don't think the roots like to stay damp, even if they are not going to get root rot.
