How to STOP Watering Your Garden

#permaculture #backtoeden #wateringplants If you are overwhelmed by watering your garden you are in luck. You don't have to. With the proper mulching, and no till gardening you can throw away the irrigation system or garden hose. You cannot beat rain water and it comes down when needed. Join me as we discuss watering myths and grab some early season harvests!

I'm an AZ where the first 3 months of gardening there is pretty much no rain (April, May, June) and then we get a lot of rain starting in July. We get about 14 inches on average per year. So, I imagine this works for our zone, but not as well. I just laid down about 3 inches of wood chips on a new garden I'll be doing. I'll separate out the wood chips and put a thick layer of compost for a fall garden. I'm hoping it will make it so I don't need to water as much but I imagine, in the early part of the year, I'll still need to water a little.

I keep my rows narrow to avoid sun exposure to dry out the ground. I strategically plant taller crops and flowers to shade other crops. I have a lot of purslane this year too. I agree with less watering!

One more comment- it occurs to me that letting natural rainfall be the boss is that your mushroom mycelia in your garden beds will not get confused!

Also try? Steel fencing/ galvanized steel/ better yet is bare copper wire! Put with the plants! Same as a rain = it brings atmosphere/earth's magnetic field too the plants!
