Ah, this is just why I joined this page, and why I asked the question. The information given, the spirit of the information gives... even the specifics. I thank you all.
I do understand drip irrigation and that's where I am going. The rain barrel soaker will really work well in our foggy rainy environment and I had never heard of them. The rest is simple, pull the mulch back, plant table scraps, install teh drip, and kick back with a stoggie and a good brew. Life is good, you have made it much better... and ya all have my thanks. Mike
