(Well, rake and harvest, of course.)
I was nervous because it seemed I got more weeds at first, but the harvest was the same, and it sure saved a lot of time not watering all the time.
Here's another test I did at the same time: brand new garden, raked every day, and they all got harvested at the same time. I'd been afraid their cycle would change if they had to be raked more often, and some wouldn't be ready to harvest with the rest, but they all stayed on cycle without watering! |
