I still fall into the same category as you and hereabouts because of the hills it can rain all day just 1.5 miles away and here we will get no rain at all but that is typically British weather and nothing to do with a drought or global warming.
Traditionally the south coast, where you and PJ live, have been boasting for many years that you get more sunshine than we do up here and really there is your answer.
Because this year there is a drought condition about, your area is really bound to be the first to suffer. You cannot have record amounts of sunshine and then complain that because of the sunshine you are so hard done by when you have no rain. It is simply a fact of life!
Nobody has suggested that mulching would not help in this situation so I really cannot see your argument.

Hi Johnboy,
Many thanks for confirming the highlighted part. I think that is the point NB was making, so it's good to see the pair of you agreeing
