What's the best way to reduce evaporation losses?

Thanks for you help.


I have used black sheet plastic covered with bark or pebble mulch for
cosmetics. not only in containers, but on the ground, with soaker
hoses running under this. i live in a hot dry place. this works as
long as you keep the soil moist enough; otherwise you can encourage
ant colonies of record-breaking size!
