Hello,

I was just wondering what you all do to keep the trees alive when you have to go away. I know the best solution, of course, is to have someone come in and check the trees. either a house sitter or someone similar. What if you can't do that? What about automatic watering systems? I know, they won't do for extended periods of time, but what about a week or two weeks for example?

My retired neighboor waters for me. I make it easy for him by putting everything in one spot and have a hose with spray nozzle.

For shorter periods of time (a few days) I use a garden sprinkler. I am trying to get a watering system setup, but realized that individual plant based drips do not work. My outside foset does not provide enough pressure for all my trees.

Why don't the individual drips work? I know watering on a schedule isn't the best.. but other than that what's your take on why they don't work?

His outside faucet doesn't provide enough pressure for all his trees... I thought that was why the individual drips don't work.

ah.. ok... sorry... I was reading on my phone... and walking at the same time.. maybe I shouldn't do that.

Last time i was away (2 weeks business trip) I left it to my wife with the clear instructions to water every day, except when it was raining, and to specifically monitor the smaller trees, as they dry out quicker.

One tree died (a small one..), two others are in 'sick bay' (under the hedge, in the shadow, where they only get morning sun).

So... she forgot to water?.

She underestimated the amount of rain and did not water every day.

ah. Classic. rain gets mostly the surface. Happened to me; last month it was raining for 3 days straight so I said "why bother". Next thing, my forsythia look as if it was crying (the downward leaves). I watered, next day it was happy.
