Default Re: Water - Saving Money Tips

One idea that my mother-in-law uses to save water on watering plants. First she purchased a large plastic garbage can and a piece of flexible downspout. She cut the downspout on her house in half to allow the rain water to fill the garbage can. When the garbage can fills with water she reconnects the downspout with the flexible piece. I believe that she has done this now for 10 years and has never needed to turn on the hose to water her flowers or garden.
