A great decorative way to catch rain water to be utilized for gardening.
catch the cold bath water while you are waiting for it to warm up before a bath or a shower.
Often throughout the summer we get short downpours which runoff and never penetrate the ground soil. Use a shower curtain, tarp, or kiddie pool to catch this water and use it more efficiently. Also use these to hold water you recycled from inside the house until it can be used.
These are good ways to catch water. So when restrictions get tight feel free to use that water on your plants. ** If using pool water leave in sunlight for 24 hours to allow chlorine level to decrease.
Save the old water from your pet's drinking bowl.
Stop throwing the ice that hits the floor down the drain. Save it in a bucket or use it on indoor plants who appreciate light watering.
When planting new trees or shrubs always mulch them to give a manicured look to the landscape and also to keep roots cool and moist. This will reduced the number of waterings needed to keep plants alive.
