I have never seen anyone question doubt people more than you.  Were you lied to a lot as a kid? Promised a barbie doll and instead got a baseball glove?

We had a cloudy week. How dry could the soil have been? Everything is getting root rot, blight, whatever the hell it is. Let that shit dry a bit.

This will only be settled with an official Dendy soil moisture monitoring sensor.

Yeah we had sunny days too, but also some storms. All I meant was to let the roots get a little deeper. A little too soil dryness is ok as long as soil 1” or deeper has moisture.

That sucker looks broken. My guess is they left it in the ground a few too many winters and the freeze-thaws tore the wire. Mine was stuck around 200 or not reading at all and when I pulled it out this spring it was damaged. 

Anyway, I replaced it. I’ve had half the rain Kev has had this month and I’m reading 5cb this morning.

Stop doubting or questioning.

I will say I cut down a dying tree a couple years ago and took a peek at the rings. I could easily pick out those wet years from the mid 2000s through the early 2010s. The biggest growth was what I assumed to be 2009 which was obviously a cool sog fest through spring and into July. So maybe as long as there is moisture deep that’s all that matters and the roots will spread every which way anyway? A few of those rings were like 3x wider than others (looked like the thin ones were late 90s). But yeah, my chestnut trees don’t seem to like “wet feet” and they’re showing some signs of rot based on the new growth wilting up. The low spots in the back have standing water after the additional 0.29” yesterday.

I was always told that deep moisture is the best even for plants. I mean if it’s really dry you have to water regardless, but if you only encourage watering the top soil, the roots will be shallow.

Easy to see why some have soaked soils the last 14 days while others don't.  But question everyone

Yup dry here of late, in that green stripe....what seems to be the only green stripe in CT. Definitely need some rain or watering in the garden regardless of what happened the first 10 days of the month.
