Out of interest, is this for the yard of the wholefood distribution co-op that you took me to visit in Barcelona? My Manu Chao albums will always remind me of that afternoon!

Yes, I was considering something on these lines, like putting a large metal

precipitations might benefit from additional water "out ofthe thin air"

I am not sure what "dimpled" means in this context though...(sorry English is
not my native
language) can you please explain?
Cheers

i just read the other day that dimpled sheet metal will create microclimates that are more efficient at condensing water than plain flat metal or corrogated metal. i've been thinking of making large funnels from flashing or something metal to condense water at night for my pumpkin plant. it hasn't been raining often enough here lately.
