Bucket Brigade

Our buckets are getting a lot of use this year. This one is assigned outdoor duty. It had been collecting condensation from the air conditioner, but with the shift in weather, it now collects the condensation from our central heat exhaust. Instead of watering the plants underneath the vent, we can water our vegetable garden.

We also use our bucket in the shower to catch grey water. I never imagined I would consider whether cabbage prefers Dial soap to Ivory soap.

I got a comment this morning about using the water caught in the shower to flush the toilet. They mentioned they haven't had to flush in more than ten days now.

Our neighbors put in a rain barrel this year. I should create a separate post for this since others may want some pointers on how to set this up. I've got a place in mind for a rain barrel of my own.
