So long story short, I’ve been thinking about doing this anyways, but the city had to put its worst water restrictions into place with an unprecedented water main break. The cities Largest main break which is a 2m pipe (6 foot 6 inches for the neighbours). This means zero outside watering, it’s a great thing I recently installed water barrels.

BUT they are out already trying to keep my top inch moist for my seedlings, so here we are, straw mulch and trying to use as little water as possible to do my part.

Not necessarily. There's also a boil water advisory in Atlanta due to a main break. I only know because I'm traveling there next week for work. But if it were Atlanta his plants would be much bigger.

Also, you know, the link he included.

Fair enough. Didn't notice the link.
