Why don't you recycle grey water for watering?

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters grey water is a great idea for watering. The problem is there just isn't a replacement for rain. Watering is something you do between rains. When it doesn't rain at all watering just doesn't cut it.

@robingoodfellow I know what you're saying. It's better than nothing though. Could save some plants or shrubs .
I live in a very hot climate. Summer temperatures in the 30s (°c). No rain between March and late October. I use a watering system and complment with grey water.
Good luck

@robingoodfellow Rain showers fix nitrogen from the air to the soil so it’s a lot better than watering with a hose. Lightning really helps even more. Have you ever noticed that after a thunderstorm the next day the lawn is so much greener?

@cherokeepatti i have not noticed that but I'll look for it next time. Thank you for that info 🙂

@robingoodfellow seems like garden plants and flowers thrive from natural rainfall compared to always watering from city water or even well water.
