water

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

When I really started thinking about it, I discovered I could find all kinds
of water to re-use without much effort. Since right now I don't have a real
garden and I live in an apartment, everything has to be hauled outside
anyway.

I really want to use the laundry water when I move, because there is so much
of it and I don't use any nasty chemicals anyway. It also helps that the
washer is on the second floor so, between the machine pump and gravity, it
is no big deal to get water anyplace outside. The only question is where to
store it.

Yes, Mel talks about watering with a bucket. But how many people do that? I
will if I'm using the recycled water and will probably get a spray head with
shutoff for the hose if I'm not.

Most of the prefab rainbarrels I see have a hose connection at the bottom,
but that won't be very useful unless you can elevate the tank. A couple of
cement blocks might be enough to fill a bucket or run a soaker hose, but it
certainly won't do for anything hand-held.
