Tho' I've no plans, I would urge a system that includes reuse of the water.
As this summer, and likely summer's to come, indicates, drought is a very serious thing, and seeming to becoming a trend.
Waste not a drop. Capture it, water plants with it.
I'm saying this as a farmer who's watching fellow farmers go under, and a citizen watching fellow citizens have no water because their
wells went dry.
Water, as we use it, is NOT a renewable resource, so we must start holding ourselves accountable for every drop we use.
Happy Gardening!
