Harvesting Greywater for Garden Usage

By Tiffany 11 Comments

One of the most cost-effective and eco-friendly things a gardener can do is recycle water for use in the garden. Harvesting greywater to water vegetable plants and trees helps them thrive during times of drought, reduces your carbon footprint on the earth and will also help to lower your household’s water expenses.

Simple Green Cleaning Tips
