Re: dry as an old bone

Problem is that I started planting before I attended some of the seminars
on dealing with water scarcity...my stuff is really spread out over 1 3/4
acres.  Some beds were determined by existing trees that I wanted to stay. 
I'm going to try the bottle method in places were there is shade...in the
sun, I'm thinking that the water will get too hot.  Don't know about the
rest.
