Using a Kid's Pool to Water the Garden

Each year, I reuse water from our kiddy pool to water the garden. At the beginning of the gardening season, I set up to my children's pool by the garden so that it might be easier to transport the water.

 

I was hearing complaints from other gardeners that the growing season had been too dry. Their garden's had dried up, but mine was thriving.

Later, we decided to actually use our pool and I moved to the pool closer to the house and clean it. As soon as I did that, my garden suffered. I think I accidentally discovered a great way to keep the garden healthy. Our gardens slopes downward. I placed the pool at the top of the slope. Each time it rain it just got that much more water and definitely benefit in our garden.

I didn't have to water this year until I moved the swimming pool. After moving the pool the garden looked terrible. Time to put it back!
