Recorded sources

1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Watering lawns in the evening causes fungal diseases?

Partly. One organic lawn-care manual lists evening watering among factors favoring lawn fungal disease, while another gardening book attributes lawn fungal disease to overwatering generally rather than to evening timing. Neither source isolates evening watering as a cause.
