“but if we don’t get rain soon here in East Texas most of my garden will die”
My family has struggled to keep gardens alive in south east Texas for 40 plus years. Every type of sprinkler set up we tried met with limited sucess-untill this year. I realize this sounds too simple, but we went out and bought a good quality (CLOTH) soaker hose. So far we have been nothing but hot dry and extremely windy-BUT we have the best looking garden i have ever seen so far.
I took two old hoses and drilled holes in them trying to make a soaker, I might have to just buy a real soaker. How often do you use yours and how long to you leave it on?
thanks
