With diligent deep watering being so essential to good plant growth, it's easy to view it as a tedious chore, and one which can be quite expensive considering the gallons of water required whether you use a hose or merely a watering can. Then, too, some gardeners live in areas where deep watering is simply not practical.
If you're one of those gardeners who just does not get into the "Zen" of watering, or your area is commonly drought-prone, consider xeriscape gardening or populating your garden with drought-tolerant shrubs, plants, or flowers.
In the meantime, if you need any water shipped directly to you, just let me know. I've got a few thousand gallons to spare.
