g'day mogga,

are people puttimg in substantial rainwater tanks? we have lived
through drouhgt and it will rain at sometime, so a tank will
eventually fill, then all one needs to do is manage that.


Not quite.
We're looking out for rain barrels for our garage though for the
allotments.

My OH read about making some concrete underground tanks though ...
that sounded interesting... although slightly mad.


also use all second hand water in the garden, wee in a bucket instead
of the loo and use that mixed with i dunno shower/bath, hand washed
dish water, and then around the plants. develop the habit of not
flushing urine.

put buckets out when it rains.
