g'day amy lou,

the reason i like going for the under mulch system is that you get
max' value from the water, the other way you lose water to evaporation
regardless of the hype about possible illness or pandemics, which
obviously i am pretty cavalier in my opinions on that one, having
grown up in a time when everyone's grey water ran into the gutters
(street) or down in the back corner of the back yard, never lost a
friend to some fatal exotic disease, just some skinned knees from
slipping over in slimy gutters (our playgrounds among other places).

modern society too full of hype and imaginary fears.
