I use soaker hose. Can be purchased at Costco or Home Depot. Bury it in the
garden and water the roots directly. And yes lots of mulch will stop the
evaporation.

HELP!!! This hot summer weather in California (90F) is killing all the
plants in my backyard. To make it worse, the state is putting a limit
onto our daily water usage. Any suggestion?!?
