we put a thick layer of hay all over our garden ( usually around 6-8 big round bales cause we have a huge garden) then plant what ever we are going to plant. the hay holds in the water and the sun dont bake the plants. we also plant maters in bales of hay. cut a little hole in the bale and stick the plants in there with the dirt that comes with them . the maters grow like crazy in these bales of hay. we take 2 litter drink bottles, poke a few holes in the top, fill them up with water, stick them in the ground beside what ever plant we want to water and poke a few holes in the bottom and it "slow leaks" till its empty. keeps the roots good and wet. we fill up the bottles usually every other day out of our 55 gal rain barrels.
