That's not what I expect, LoL
With the soil misters the soil is dry to the touch, I'm worried if I back off on the water that some of the other plants on the same zone might start to suffer. I forget the peach does not like as much water as some of the other plants. But on a good note, I think this means the Bananas will be just fine of this type of system.

Thank you
