Now that our seeds have been planted and started to sprout we are looking into how to keep them hydrated. As of now we hare individually watering each plant with a large barrel that we fill water bottles from. However this system will be the best this summer when it is just Rob who is taking care of the garden, especially when the large barrel runs out of water. There is a river near by so a funneling or pumping system might be possible. For now though each little plant gets what the individual care it needs.

When there is a dry season, we used to fill a clay pail with water,cover its opening with polythene, and bury it near the plants.
