Getting more barrels to collect water from guttering. Better for plants and for us, now we're on a water meter.
Look into using this water/grey water for flushing loos too.
Heard it can be done but don't know how. Build a water tower that'll reach the first floor?:p
Growing more fruit too.Mirror, mirror, on the wall.I am my mother after all!0 -

- making my own gifts
- having holidays at home
- making my own bread

I was going to say.....I shall walk to work every day, but...my office is in my garden.
However, I shall purchase shopping on the days I have meetings out of town. Claim on petrol expenses and shop somewhere new..win, win!
