Lots of great advice here! the procedures and depths vary per state. You should call before you dig, every dig. I do not recommend taking pictures for future reference. If you're planning a project, just call or go online and enter a request. This is the safest (legally and physically) way to dig. Generally you can dig in the area where underground lines have been marked. However, you MUST use extreme caution and preferably hand tools. Don't go hacking away with a backhoe on top of a marked area. www.call811.com will provide ALL information needed (FAQ, local information, and helpful tips). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. THIS IS THE 'GO-TO' SITE PRIOR TO DIGGING. Here is a link that might be useful: CALL811.COM

The confusion usually results from good old semantics - interpreting the same word differently. "Presuming" which is something we all do. The goal is NOT to "water consistently" but to maintain consistent soil moisture levels. But that doesn't mean water everyday or water once a week or give it the same 2 gallons each day at 10 am, unless the soil the plant is in needs it. In other words, you have to first check out the soil before you water. Stick your finger deep into the soil. If it is cool and slightly damp, no water is needed...right now. Check again later. Some times the plant may need water 3x a day, some times if it has been raining regularly only once in 2 weeks. Some days it may need 1 gallon, some days 2 1/2 gallons divided into 2 applications. This is one reason why a drip irrigation system set on slow drip and an auto timer is so great! :) Is it in a container or in the ground, if a container how big, variety, stage of growth, where is it in the feeding cycle, weather, age of plant, type of soil, etc. etc. All those variables affect how much water and when. Bottom line there is no magical formula for watering and you can't make up one. Well, with one exception - too much water is worse than too little. The plant's appearance and the dirt the plant is growing in will tell you if it needs water. Look at the plant and stick your finger deep into it before watering and when in doubt - don't water.

The massage feature is a bit of a marketing misnomer. On previous models this feature was called oscillation. All that it does is cause the stream of water to pulsate and move around slightly. I suppose one could say that the sensation is somewhat like a mini version of the massage feature found on some showerheads.....but if you're looking for a full-derriere massage, you'll be disappointed. The seat doesn't vibrate....only the stream of warm water vibrates.

you could take one plant on the end you dont focus on.. and right after flowering ... or even now.. cut it to about 3 inches ... AND SEE HOW IT REACTS ... given a few weeks ... and then you will have learned such.. and you can determine what to do ... not much at all.. dies simply from pruning ... back when i learned it all.. there was no WWW to make me worry about everything.. so i just experimented .. and lo and behind.. i remember those experiments today .... also ... if i felt like it.. i might trim every other plant ... just to be creative ... i would probably do it with hand shears.. and i would gather all the branches if one plant in one hand [or as big a gob that i could get] .. and cut them with the shears [secateurs if you are canadian] ... it will give you a better understanding of the plants form ...physiology? most likely .. what is left.. has dormant buds.. and once you remove the rest.. those buds will activate.. and you can see the result within the few weeks mentioned above .. have no fear ... ken
