🙄 Last time the well digger was here he went down to 120 meters without finding any significant water. I have dug a 5 meter deep 6000 M3 water reservoir next door to the bananas in question, no water whatsoever when digging down and had to film it with LDPE to hold water. Thanks anyway for the kind brainstorming.
Interesting to note that on the night of Dec 21st, the temperature on Doi Inthanon mountain, 2565 meters summit fell to minus 1°C . Its only 50 clicks away and we could have had some unregistered cold drafts that night from the northwest which could explain sudden cold damage.
