If you have a yard, it’s a thirsty beast, too. Water your lawn early in the morning. Like, 5 AM. Before the sun wakes up and steals all the water. Evening works, too, but your grass will stay wet overnight and get fungus. Nobody wants a moldy lawn. Water deep, not often. That encourages deep roots. Shallow watering is just a tease.
Get a rain barrel. Seriously. It’s a big plastic barrel that catches rainwater from your roof. Free water. For your plants. No guilt. It’s like stealing from the sky, but legally. You’ll feel like a wizard. “Behold, my free water!”
And stop washing your car every weekend. A bucket of water works fine. A hose? That’s 100 gallons in ten minutes. Use a bucket and a sponge. Your car won’t die. It might even appreciate the personal attention.
