Is it able to explain why more water in the soil will cause the soil become cold?

Hi Suzanna, wet soil takes longer to heat up than dry soil because its heat capacity is so much greater. So it requires a lot more of the sun's energy to to raise the temperature. Think about it this way, a pot full of water takes a lot longer to come to the boil than a pot with half filled with water.

Hi Piotr. Relative humidity causes powdery mildew as outlined in the video. Thanks for commenting
