Blessings Darlings!
Since at THIS moment, Wunderground says that we will get nice rain next week, I'm considering putting in some 'home made ollas' if the ground gets less hard. Ollas are an unfired clay based watering system - I'm going to let you google it yourself. I'm going with re-using stuff that others throw out.
I've got empty 16 oz water bottles that folks throw out at work. If I can dig holes, bury one next to every plant that needs water (with the top sticking out for easy refill, and poke some holes in the bottom, I can get water to the actual roots of the plants. Less evaporation = less water used.
I suppose I could use any 15 - 28 oz cans, or the 24 oz plastic bottles from spaghetti sauce that we slowly accumulate, too, in the same way.
I also suppose that after I put this in, rainfall will stop being rain fail, and I won't need them any more. Because life be like that. And that's okay. Better I put it in place (if I can) and not need it than not put it in place and need it.
Frondly, Fern
