Water Conservation

Most people concerned with the environment eventually consider water conservation. How can you use less water in the toilet, bathing and cleaning dishes? How about the garden? Grey water is one way that you can reuse water from bathing, showering, or washing dishes and laundry to water your garden. A grey water system can be set up in your home to automatically route the water where you need it.

A poor man's grey water system might involve transporting bath, laundry or swimming pool water to the garden via a pump and hose, or a bucket. I am partial to setting up my children's inflatable swimming pool near the garden and then draining it in the garden at the end of the day.

If you are concerned with using less water, rather than reusing water, join the debate: "Which uses less, a bath or a shower?"
