It applies to our area too in the summers when we have no rain at all. There have been years in my garden when the only things doing well were the lavenders and salvias.~~Dee Really interesting information, Debra.

I have three 80 gallon rain barrels, rain chains (just heavy heavy duty chains from a hardware store - very industrial and cool looking, I might add), and French drains.
