I’m in PA and it’s been getting increasingly hot and dry during summer. We’re on a well so I don’t care to use excessive amounts of tap water on my garden. Last year I dug a small dry well in my ornamental flower beds and directed one of my 4 downspouts into it, and it seems to really be helping the plants there. I’d highly recommend a small dry well. I used a fabric grow bag to line it and filled it in with gravel. It’s topped with large flat rocks and a grate, and a large flower pot I use for annuals.
