MSNBC: More than half of US in drought

This post brought to you by Scotts®. All opinions are 100% mine.

That is no good, especially not when you are trying to maintain a garden. I have experienced first hand how my gorgeous, flowering plants died and shriveled to nothing due to lack of water during a hot, dry summer. The only way to sustain them is watering them constantly and who has got the time for that?

I would do wisely to prevent that this year by mixing Expand ‘n Gro™ in with our native soil. That will significantly improve the soil for several years, feeds plants up to 6 months, yields up to 3 times the flowers and vegetables compared to soil without it, and the all natural fibers hold up to 50% more water then basic potting soil, because this concentrated planting mix expands up to 3 times when water is added.

Whether potted, or planted straight into the ground, that would certainly give our plants what they need and easily carry them through the summer without having to that dread a dry spell will wipe them out.
