fleaWe're now officially in "exceptional drought," which makes it all the more galling that it's been insufferably humid the last couple of days. Turn that moisture into rain, please?
Also insufferable is the fact that some people are continuing to water lawns. The sprinkler system at the Looni's Catholic Student house (by which I walk on my way to work) had been on this AM, although the water regulations allow watering only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Mostly the Looni is letting the grass die (or go dormant, I hope), which I applaud.
I've put a Rubbermaid bin in the sink and am using grey water to water the garden (such as it is; I planted a bunch of fall crops, including kale, lettuces, and the last of the bean seeds I had, in hopes that the rabbits would have forgotten about me. The rabbits remembered. Casper keeps finding little piles of rabbit poop in the lawn). I should have been doing this long ago - it's a little awkward but not too bad and I get TONS of water. I can also empty the tub out after the kids' bath with a bucket if I need more.

Date: 2007-10-04 03:46 pm (UTC)That's one of the disappointments for me. I failed to include a greywater mechanism in our new house. I meant to, but forgot. So we'll be doing some bucket watering. But that's fine, it's good for us to do, and to be aware of the process.
It's just that I was picturing a nice little spigot and a holding tank. But probably that wouldn't have passed muster with the various authorities anyway, so this is fine.
