with the weather so unpredictable i have been contemplating my options on how to garden more effectively , water efficiently , as the ground dries out so quickly with raised beds ect
to be more effective been thinking of doing 1/2 the garden in , No Till procedure , just do full mulch plant bed rows for a experiment 2 or 3 rows and go ground drip or soaker hose watering ( controlled row watering ) i do have a header tank already set up ,instead of mass area watering with large sprays which takes a lot of hrs to wet the area
it normally takes about 4 to 6 hrs to water properly every 2nd day , that's a lot of running time with the mains power bore , where the tank only takes 1/2 hr to fill every few days approximately 2500 litre tank
so please feel free to pass some idea's and comments ,
