I've never found a necessity for
'drenching' the beds. Oh, that's exactly what I used to do. What else was I to do?
The water from the pump was delivering a torrent of water, what was one to do
with it? Drench everything, of course. But when I began to pump water by
hand, I began to pay much closer attention to how the plants used it (and did a
lot of reading and research on the subject). What I used to accomplish with
500 gallons of water, I can do with 20 gallons now.
