Re: Walls o' water

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi!  Some of my My WoW's are 6 years old!  I get some pinholes
in them, but a dab of Waterbed Patch Sealer ($.50 at Kmart)
fixes them up.  The blue ones look pretty in my garden and they
help me give the 'maters enough space between them (I tend
to plant little bitty tomatoe seedlings too close together when
planting along the back fence of my SqFT garden, and the WOWs take up space and
reminder me to space them farther
apart).

Where 13 miles N.E. of L.A., I wasn't able to put my seedlings
out until the middle of April, way late for me!  Strange weather
this year, huh!
