You don't need to be wasting all that water when you are harvesting rainwater!

Every time it rains most of us aren’t harvesting rainwater, and we’re missing out on a unique opportunity. Hundreds of gallons are going into the soil. They’re saturating plants that don’t need any more hydration. The water is funneling down the community drains and sewers. Plainly put, it’s just being totally wasted. However, if you harvest your rainwater, you can put it to great use. Harvested rainwater can be used to water your garden between rains, to wash cars and for other uses.

Harvesting your rain water does more than help the environment. It can save you money too. According to estimates, a typical garden consumes about forty percent of your household water bill. Harvesting your rainwater can save you thousands of gallons of water and hundreds of dollars. A simple rainwater harvesting system is easy and inexpensive to install. You’ll earn your money back in no time. Continue Reading How You Can Be Harvesting Rainwater Here

Why These Drip Irrigation Systems For Gardens Help and Why You Should Have One of These in Your Garden

With drip irrigation systems for gardens, you reduce the amount of the labor intensive task of keeping your garden watered, and also reduce water usage as regular watering tends to use a lot of water as well. If you use municipal water, it can cost a lot of money. But with a drip irrigation system (DIS), you can keep your garden watered and still conserve water.

A DIS is the most efficient method of irrigating. While sprinkler systems are around 75-85% efficient, drip systems typically are 90% or higher efficient. What that means is much less wasted water! For this reason drip is the preferred method of irrigation in the desert regions of the United States. But a DIS has other benefits which make it useful almost anywhere. It is easy to install, easy to design, can be very inexpensive, and can reduce disease problems associated with high levels of moisture on some plants. If you want to grow a rain forest however, a DIS will work but might not be the best choice! Continue Reading Drip Irrigation Systems For Gardens Why You Should Have One in Your Garden Here
