Irrigation certainly but not rainwater. Probably by concentrating its flow to the base of the plant, so more chance of penetrating deeper into the soil. |

And then possibly helping to prevent evaporation? -- David |

And then possibly helping to prevent evaporation? Yes. A near-total waste of time for the UK, where a simple depression is quite good enough. And, as David says, only for irrigation (and fertilisation), not rain. In countries with higher evaporation, it's different. But, here, it's a rare day that will evaporate more than 1 mm of water, so any useful rain will soak in before it evaporates. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

That is exactly what we do on the allotment, make an earth channel along the row of beans and tomatoes etc and rings around squashes and water into those. It's just the way I was taught to garden here. -- Regards. Bob Hobden. Posted to this Newsgroup from the W of London, UK |
