The weather isn’t being kind this year. We keep hearing of major heat waves out west (116F in Phoenix yesterday) while here in the SE it won’t stop raining. My trees have gotten so saturated I cut off the automatic water a week ago and only hand apply a little to trees that need it (mostly under tree canopies), I check with a chopstick. The maples with acadama in their soil won’t dry out, that stuff has turned to mush and sops up water. Short of moving trees into the garage or throwing a tarp over them I just have to let them drain as best the soil allows. I am most concerned about seedlings I started in Micacle-Gro potting soils even though I mixed in about 50% sand—they are constantly wet even though I haven't watered them in a couple weeks.
So how are others coping? Is this a big problem for you?
