Perhaps the cow trough I'm not using instead of a wading pool. Also, how
about
if I proceed to lift the current occupants now and give them the same
treatment?
That would give me time to work in some new material in the beds and then
plant them when it cools off, and hopefully, finally decides to rain here
(if it ever
does that again).

Texas Zone 7 w/32 arilbreds sitting in pots now (but not in water) so
I can control tthe environment more closely.
