I Always assume drought and flood are just around the corner. I don’t have the capability to water. I have to get my water over the winter and trap it all with mulch. That goes for gardens too.
I’m gonna be about 5” deep in wood chips this year. Very good chance my soil never gets rain this year, and what does fall will hang up in the woods chips.
Well, the rain wasn’t quite as widespread as I thought, which I should be used to by now. We got 1.5” here at the house; 13 miles away at the farm we got less than a quarter.
People don’t expect weathermen to be right, at least I don’t. What good is a seven day forecast if they change it the second day ? We were supposed to get rain today but it all went N of us, but it took the tornado activity with it so I didn’t mind much. I planted three plots yesterday and the day before and the ground was plenty damp. I documented it in my “Leaning” thread. My home plot was nearly too wet to plant on the lower side.
I get anxious if I have less than 4 yards laying around. Had 18 brought in last fall and I’ve been hauling and spreading. Probably burned up a quarter of it already, and I’ve got more to do.
