Water Restrictions
Can you put a 55 gallon drum that has been emptied, under your down spouts
on the house and save your rain water (when you get it). Rain water is better for your plants anyway. They can be fixed up with faucets or other ways to get the water out when you need it. Good luck.

Reservoirs are at 43% capacity and dropping. There goes my garden for this year. I'll set out a few tomato plants and hope for rain, but if it's anything like last year, it's futile. Reminds me of 1933. I hear that hydroponic gardening is easy on water usage. And I believe that it should be. Nevertheless, every time I have to top off my reservoir when transpiration take my water, I become doubtful. It happens about once or twice a week depending upon how hot it is. Maybe I use about 20 gallons each time for a 6 by 8 foot greenhouse. Has there been a definitive study on comparing hydroponic water usage compared to drip irrigation? \ Bill |
