| Use Aquarium Water For Plants
|
|
My garden plants are all situated rather close to my home, as it has no outdoor spigot. I discovered a great way to water and feed my plants at the same time!

| Using Grey Water From Your Washer for The Garden
|
|
This one comes from my dad. When I was young, he maintained a very large garden and my mom canned most of the fruits and veggies that we ate. One year because of a water main break, all outdoor watering was banned.

| Rerouting Downspout Water
|
|
I'm tired of a puddle at the end of the downspouts. I am wondering how to remove the pipe that goes to the ground and attach something to the gutter that lets the rain out in sprinkler form or a mister would be great.

| Conserving Water in the Garden
|
|
Here are some tips for conserving water in your garden: Water your garden in the late afternoon but not at night. It needs time to let the surface dry so mold and fungus aren't able to damage the plants.

Looking for creative ways to harvest rain. I'm looking for truly innovative ideas, not just using ready made products like trash cans.

| Bury Plastic Bottles for Garden Irrigation
|
|
I am thinking of soaking my garden by melting small holes in soda jugs with my leather burning tool, then sinking the jugs right side up to their necks into the garden dirt near the plants with about 3 inches exposed above ground.

| Saving Money on Irrigation
|
|
I am looking for ideas. We just got our water bill and although we have had more rain than normal our 1/2 year water bill was a whopping $600. I believe it is our irrigation "system".

| Using Buckets Under Downspouts
|
|
My husband never got around to setting up a rain barrel system under our downspout, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I set out several 5-gal. pails, a large plastic garbage can, and even my wheelbarrow along the ground, in a line, directly under the garage roof edge. After a good rain, I was surprised to find all of them filled to the brim. Now I leave them there and continually have enough to water my plants!
