Rainbarrel
Submitted by Ineke
Estimated water saved: 20 gallons per day
| "For years I have a large a plastic rainbarrel in which we collect rainwater from the gutter. I use this water strictly for houseplants. By early fall the barrel is almost empty depending on the late rainfalls. I also fill 2 gl. plastic detergent- containers with spigots with rain. I use this for waterin small seed containers outside. We have a bucket in the shower, the water collected is used for flushing the toilet." |

Thought I'd expand this further. In addition, keep a 5 gal plastic container (like from Home Depot) in your bathroom. Have a smaller bucket in your shower that will fill up as you shower. Empty the smaller bucket into the 5 gal container. When needed, take water from the 5 gal container to flush a toilet.

Saving water the easy way.
Many people are unaware of a product that's been around for many years. Water Gel Crystal.
Once hydrated they retain water and nutriments like a sponge, the roots of the plant penetrates the crystals and the receive their water as required.
This procedure slows the water loss by evaporation
and percolation into the subsurface were the roots don't go plus the additional labor to maintain.
It cuts water usage by 50%. your lawns and garden are one of the biggest usage of water.
So this helps save the environment and you money.
While giving you healthier and hardier plants.
Be cautious of low cost imports as they may contain lead and their life is much shorter. US made 5 to 10 years, imports 1 to 3 years.

Our family have cut water consumption by making conscious efforts such as turning off the water when soaping in the shower and watering our lawn at night 3 times a week.
