| Reuse Kiddie Pool Water For Plants
|
|
My daughter purchased a kiddie pool large enough to hold an adult sized raft. She sunbathes in the privacy of our yard (I already lectured her about sun damage) and it's less expensive than joining a country club.

| Homemade Rain Barrel
|
 This is the rain barrel we installed last summer. We live in the southwest high desert where it is arid, but we receive summer monsoon rains. By using our rain barrel, we used almost no fresh water on our vegetable garden last year.

| Greywater Systems
|
|
By Ron Williams
|
|
There are lots of people out there both on the Internet and in books, suggesting that you use your grey water from the washing machine to water the gardens. But they are very short on the practical side of things about exactly how do you do it.

| Soaker Hoses and Newspaper
|
 I've been gardening, seems like forever. My best 'creation' was laying a soaker hose along the growing rows, then cover the garden with newspapers. They must be 8-10 sheets deep to keep out the weeds. During the winter, we count the weekly paper out and staple the corners to keep them separate. That gave me an idea. so now when I lay the papers in the garden, I staple them together. They don't fly around and 'repairs' are easy.

| Milk Jugs for Gardening and Around the Yard.
|
|
It will be garden time soon. So, these are mostly garden ideas. As you collect seeds, put them into jugs that you have cut with a hole in the side, or have cut the top off. You can carry the seeds to the garden in these when planting time comes. You could also sort your seeds by planting times, i.e., plant right after the last frost, plant in cold frame, start indoors, don't plant until late spring, keep for fall planting, etc.
