If you've followed the directions (this is key), not used too much, and
mulched heavily, they're fine. If not, they tend to rise to the soil
surface. Looks like clear jello which is kinda' weird. And you sure
don't want that underfoot as it's quite slippery and you don't want to
end up on your tookus. The soil dries out faster than the polymers, of
course. I've never had a problem with them holding too much water.

Yeah, but your annual rainfall is...5 inches? What Allegra says makes
sense. I sure could use something in the pots when I got away during
the summer. I think the garden would be too big a job.
