Don’t Let Water Go Down The Drain

Put a basin in the sink to catch water when you wash your hands. Use it to water your garden, shrubs, and houseplants. Gray water is fine. Use dishwater to water shrubs. One way to filter food particles and other garbage from the dishwater is to fill a trash bag 1/3 full of pine needles. Poke several holes in the bottom of the bag, and pour the dishwater through it directly onto the ground around the plants. Pine needles clean the water enough so that there won’t be food odor to attract animals.
