Thank you, i will look around and see.
I think one of my gardens might be too acid, it is sandy and the water just runs through the soil like nothing was there.
We have added a lot of organic matter and compost, but it still drains very fast and we have to water a lot more often.
We do have it all mulched so we don't know what else to do to get it to retain some water, here in Texas with the terrible heat and drought it is very important to conserve water as much as possible.
