I'm in Kentucky now. I'm just curious what living mulches you like best. I have a lot of mini clover seed that I haven't planted out yet - still dead-mulching to build the soil's fertility and structure... TIA

Watering is done in the morning by drip, that's how I do it. I avoid watering the plants on the leaves, and I put the shade net over the plants, because a very hot period is coming, up to 40 degrees.

I would like to add using soak-er hoses. That way the water goes into the soil and not into the air where the water would be lost through evaporation.
Have a happy summer despite the heat.
I don't pay attention to the temps though dear hubby said it was 110 a few days ago.

Phil Nancy suggested that, my soil here is so stupid, hard, rocky, crabgrass yard, but those little slugworths climb so I reckon they could climb into a dish of beer, how deep would it have to be to properly drown the little buggars? Summertime seems to be going okay, but I should prepare.

I am in the process of attacking two weak. I want a cheap and effort free way to get water from mu pond to the garden, And I need to rebuild my baler.
