Default Gold Coast Gardeners?

g'day tony,

they certainly looked unprepared from this end of town, already buying
in water from brisbane and the tweed and then letting it get wasted on
windows and driveways.

most councils as far as i know don't encourage grey water use, but
then for me that sort of rule is there to be well bent, if you don't
tell anyone what you are doing how will they know? if you walked out
to your front garden with a watering can no one would know surely.

i was always of the opinion that the state government controlled water
ways?

society certainly has a big soft underbelly when it comes to using our
own waste water to water the garden, they'd much rather flush it away
with fresh drinking water.

ever thought of installing a rain water tank? got to be a reasonable
size depends on demand for water for the garden, 2,000 gallon tank
should be a nice size.

take care the long hot summer, don't forget mulch hay/straw comes
cheap and saves lots of moisture loss might not look prety enough
though.
