Water Conservation Gardening

First summer for many many years, even in Cumbria, that I have not had to water tubs just about every day. Ground still saturated despite a good number of sunshine and wind hours.

 

My partner has organised it so we use grey water. Bought a water but motor hose pipe few bits. we re-use bath water and washing machine water in the green hse and outside pots.At the moment the water but is in the garage store room I take the water from that. Once we have caught up on a pile of things to do out side.(only moved into property end April and the grounds had not been worked on for 7 yrs so massive job.Which we & some friends have helped out to try and get it to look the way we want it) Once we have done the front garden then John my fiance will take up some slabs up un the back patio to do a new draining system and to bury the water system underground and take pipes from there to the hse and to the garden/greenhse area. Done in away that it can be extended at a later stage.We can see the difference in the water bill already.
