to change that which we can
to abide with that which we cannot
and the wisdom to know the difference.....

the study continues 60 minutes to go and all normal

never know if there is a difference and i can isolate it ...it might help the devs to fix it

[driverdave]

the reason i say i expect a change at 42 minutes is that 42 minutes is the ''extra '' time over and above the normal time to waste for that crop so we shall see what we shall see

ok at 40 minutes to go and still looking like a healthy raspberry field should
not disappointed that there was no change in appearance as the devs did say they were fixing that but we can conclude from this so far that the time to waste timer is accurate

Ok the plot just went to waste ....right on zero minutes and it was healthy looking right to the end ...the time to waste timer is accurate it said at the astart 2.7 hrs and 162 minutes later it went to waste no i know thereas mathematicians out there that can do the numbers
sugar cane said 16.6 hrs for taz
raspberry plot said 2.7 hrs for me

is there a mathematical link proportionate formaula in this ??????

[driverdave]

Ok to recap on the time to waste timer

i have over the last 5 hrs run a test on the time to waste clock and it is indeed accurate my methodology was as follow

plowed a single field on a non irrigated farm
planted 1 single plot of raspberry
it took 120 minutes (2hrs) to ripen
when it was ripe the time to waste started at 2.7 hrs(162 minutes)
i monitored it over the next 162 minutes (2.7 hrs)
there was no change in appearance untill the time to waste timer ran out
the field was unharvestable by any means
(and i have all the harvesters and the combine)

this was a true test carried out in a methodical fashion and the findings speak for themselves

1 . the time to waste timer is accurate
2. at least for raspberry there is no appearance change until the time to waste has run out
3. when it was showing wilted wasted plot it was not harvestable

I find the case to be proved !! Well done driverdave, and thank you

Thank you Helen it might settle the issue i wish i could do one like that for the red sprinkler but the opinions are so widely differing on that one.....i know it works and i think some of the people (no names mentioned or fingers pointed at any perosn here, but if the shoe fits ....wear it) are way too fussy and have overly high expectations

I think it would be hard to put the red sprinkler to a sufficient test to satisfy everyone. You definitely need to have your wits about you a little more using the red one, but my poor scattered wits enjoy the challenge. I'm producing twice as many flowers for my flower shop, and I haven't lost a crop that I've irrigated ..... yet
