Another scorcher today and here the are at the same time as yester days pics. I sit the root ball above the waterline and cover the rest of the plant up with soil. The plants roots can then travel down into the moist soil. I don't bring the plastic all the way to the top of the bed, I just want to provide a moist resevour ounder their feet so that they can draw on it as needed. To avoid over flooding I raise the beds above the plastic line and line the beds with logs bricks etc.
