Use Milk Jugs For Garden Water Reservoirs

RE: Use Milk Jugs For Garden Water Reservoirs Post By jodi. (Guest Post) (05/19/2008) You are most welcome! This is just a small way to pay back all the good ideas that I have gotten from this site. I do rate this site "above a 10". Each day I cant wait to see what everyone has written and I have learned so much from so many people. I also have started taking off both ends of my can goods (some you can not remove) an now have started putting those out in my garden also. It really does not matter what size of cans or plastic bottles you use. Am so glad I was able to pass on my idea an help some of you. Another idea that we try to do when planting a tree or shrubs is to plant a pipe into the ground next to what you are planting. leave enough sticking up so you can take the hose an fill it up to also get the roots watered.

I reuse my bath water for plants. I secured 2 hoses on my 2nd story balcony which go down to my ramp below. The hoses go into plastic buckets( old kitty litter buckets I liberated from the recycle bins)I use a funnel on top of the hoses. I reused ( again) old kitty litter plastic containers to transfer the water to my balcony.

I have a small area about 4 feet wide the entire length of my garage that is on a slight slope. Just enough slope to make the water run downhill instead of seeping into the dirt. I give quite a few milk jugs to recycling each week. Now I can use them for this. Can't thank you enough!

I was wondering what to do with them, and this is the PERFECT solution!! I'm ready to start tomorrow, and thank you for the absolutely WONDERFUL tip! I'm hoping I'll be able to post something just as useful as this at some point!

I am out here in Oklahoma and during the summer months, it is very difficult to water the garden enough to get a thorough soaking down to the roots which is where the plant needs it the most for optimal growth. I will start doing this from now on, thank you! Report Spam or Abuse
