Thanks, Marge,
Unfortunately, my dirt is VERY well drained, and a patch that does not dry
out would have to be under the faucet that was left dripping! :) But now
that you mention it, perhaps that's a situation that would fulfill my
craving to put big plastic water storage tubs under my downspouts! Than I
could make a little hole that seeped! What a good idea. Thanks, Marge!
