Re: drought


Lucy,

The first thing to do is check your state and local water-use 
regulations. Here in PA., the regs allow watering "outdoor gardens if 
the garden is used to produce food and fiber or used to maintain 
livestock and poultry." There are some limitations on "other outdoor 
gardens".

Then you may want to investigate various water-saving devices like 
drip irrigation, soaker hoses, Big Drippa bags from Gardeners Supply 
(No, I don't work for them, but I did get a couple to try in my plot 
this year.). But do check the regs first.\
