Water restrictions and gardens

oh hang on ... people have sprinkler SYSTEMS now, don't they ? Not as easy to spot as a whirley-gigger attached to a hose plonked in the middle of the lawn yep, the ole sprinkler we used to run through are pretty much gone now. I bought one of those old backward & forward sprinklers earlier this year when we put down an acre of lawn seed. (I'm not mad about lawns but we had to, it was one big dust bowl.) But then, we're not running off mains water - it came out of our tank. I'm so glad hubby and his cousin (who did the external plumbing & treatment plant for our new place) heeded their old (former farmer) grandmother's advice of "you can never have enough water" and the cousin got us to put in the biggest tank we could afford - 98,000 litres. |
