Hi all,
I am new to the forum and this my first post, so be gentle with me.
I tried for the first time a few years ago at growing my own in bags with not much success. Carrots were fine, potatoes were more like a wedge each, the spring onion was like chives and don't even ask about the onion mush!
I came to the conclusion that I think I over watered things but only watered when it seemed try.
This kind of put me off for a few years but now am trying again. I haven't got much space so bought a small shelved structure greenhouse with a plastic covering a few weeks ago. So I'm looking in almost every night and am like oh it seems dry they need a water, but memory takes me back a few years and it makes me wonder does it really or am I falling into the too much watering bracket again.
I am only using a small spray bottle on purpose too so that I try and keep this down.
So my question really is how much watering is enough especially if the soil in the pots and trays does look dry.
I want to make a go of it as the other half may be persuaded into agreeing to me getting an allotment if I show I can do at home

It is probably a bit more difficult if you are using growbags and I am wondering if you had too much water in one place and not an even spread.
) at this time of a year (although a heated one would be quicker). I only really use additional heat for the stuff I sow back in Jan / Feb but do have a quite warm utility room. As said, it could take forever outside.
