Knowledge:
Collecting
Water
 The new outdoor watering rules mean good gardeners have to
get creative. I planted a seven foot tall serviceberry in June and my
wife watered it weekly with bath water. Now it is thriving, even though
it was planted at the wrong time! Collecting bath water is
easy, but even more can be gotten from a rain barrel. Only 100 square
feet of roof area yields 60 gallons of water in a one inch rain. Learn how to
build or buy a rain barrel
