Bit wetter here, 0.9mm! (all on 1st)


A ground soaking 0.0 mm so far this month with the last rainfall on the
29th Aug.

20 dry days in a row and having to water the garden and veggie plot every
night to stop it shrivelling up.


Really? I haven't watered my veg at all this month and they are still
growing and cropping well. Grass is still green and growing despite only 1.2
mm rain this month. Your soil must naturally be very dry. My soil is stony
but somehow it stays moist below 2cm depth. Had to water the patio plants of
course but only once every 4 days or so.
