Most plants do not grow much in hot weather because of dehydration, but you proved that water recycling works. Way to go! You might also want to try saving rainwater next season.

Once you get us...Stan: You are more than welcome. Once you get used to using your water for the second time, it becomes a routine and is really hassle free! Good luck!<br /><br />Debbie: No special laundry detergent is required. You cannot use any chlorine bleach water for watering, but can use it for cleaning outdoor areas. When I lived in Florida, an old Florida native (cracker) told me to spray my plants and shrubs with soapy water and I would never have insect issues. I did, and it worked. I bought a small plastice spray bottle at the Dollar Store, added water and some liquid detergent, and can honestly say I never had insect issues! Try that little trick, too!<br /><br />Good luck to all and happy gardening and I think it's great that you'll both consider conserving and recycling water.

I still live in a Western state (Colorado) that has perpetual water issues, and I will try to adopt some of your methods. Thanks for sharing them.Stanhttp://2mexico.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
