Allen Here is another idea, I take a burry a 3 lb can about 3/4 deep near my 'maters, peppers and in the middle of my squash hills, When it's dry I make sure I fill them with water at least 2x every week, this gets water down at the roots instead of washing off the top. I store mine on some on thin trees I cut down, in my greenhouse. A tip maybe you can use Byron
