the milk bath is from what I read here: http://upload.democraticunderground.com/115975
As for the sun, these buckets are lined up in front of my house and my house faces south.
There are taller trees 6 to 8 feet to their left and right so the morning and afternoon sun is filtered through them and they're probably in direct sunlight for several hours in the midday.
Also it has been raining here almost every afternoon for the last several days so maybe I should set the timer to water once a day? Or not even that much? This is my first time ever growing anything so I am a complete newbie...
My buckets have 9 or 10 1/4" holes drilled in the bottoms for drainage..I'm never home from work before the evening watering so I can't say how dry it's gotten before the water comes on - although if it comes on during the rain the point is probably moot lol...
If I go to once a day on the water should it be morning or evening or don't matter?
