Weed block gone, mulch installed. Watered the heck out of it yesterday spraying at the base of each plant. This morning when I walked that part of the garden I found that a lot of the water just traveled to the walkway. We are in drought conditions and have to cut our use of water by 20% this year. I thought using mulch would save water, but not it is just running away from the plants. The mulch is kinda tight to the base of the plants as photo will show. How do I water efficiently? Do I expose more plant base so that water can soak in. I guess I need to set up my hose to just drip and plan on moving the hose end every ten minutes or so.
