Saving Water and Giving Plants a Drink - July 2019
When our little home was built - and we moved in - I discovered it took a least a litre of water before it heated for washing up. So, I save my milk containers and fill them, store and use on my plants. That way I don't feel so guilty using our tank water, as I can supplement it with the saved water.

Note: We catch the warm up water in our showers, and the kitchen sink, and I tip it into the washing machine. With five of us showering every day, it adds up to a couple of bucketsful, and 20 litres or so not being wasted is money in my bank account. We have a grey water system hooked up to the washing machine, and the rinse water is diverted onto the grass and flower beds (I don't use grey water on our veggie beds). Cath
