It's been many years since I frequented the massive OGL, but yes, I 
actually do remember her, and I concur that without a substantial amount 
of water, there is nothing you can do..  If you are gardening in clay 
containers, just replace the containers.  I suppose you could set up 
some kind of leach system in a bathtub, but that would be a real pain.
