Nearby trees and weeds can rob away most of the water that is being applied in the garden. There is not much you can do except to have your plants grown in containers. However, keeping up with its water requirement is a huge problem particularly during dry summer. Not so if you have the Autopot Systems installed.

 Plants have certainly flurished with the onset of warmer weather in Spring - a good contrast as compared to the same spot during winter as shown in pictures below.

Picture above shows a group of potted plants grown in Autopot 12" Hydrotray units. The idea is to overcome the problems of water and nutrient poaching by nearby trees.
