Sharing how many thousands of gallons of water to keep 96 square feet of garden mostly alive. There are so many aspects to that number--where do I live, how much does it rain, how the heck can I claim to know what exactly went into the garden, etc. Even better…there are so many ways to improve on this number so that you use even less.

So interesting and informative! Love that you were able to adapt and reduce how much you watered by looking. At the data and gauges. The rain catchment is great. If you want to get away from carrying heavy buckets, there are spigot attachments you can use. From them just attach a hose to your Garden Grids. Put a 1/3 HP sump pump into the container and you’ll have plenty of pressure for your gardens.

I'll definitely have to get that setup in the near future. Thanks for sharing how to do that!

Love the science approach, great data collecting. The mulch is a great for saving water. Have you read “Teaming with microbes”? As far as I understand the biological health of the soil also has an affect on the water usage. But I have to read that book again because it is so dens in information.

No, I haven't. Sounds like I need to check that out. I started vermicomposting in the beds last fall. I didn't realize the health would impact water retention but it makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
