Do some planting. Just get out there while its nice.
Happy Earth Day!
Wishing everyone a Happy Earth Day! I will be planting on my balcony and helping my dad in the garden.
Harvesting Rain Water
For decades my family has been using rain water for watering our outdoor and indoor plants. This saves our drinking water. More than 70% of the planet is covered with water, but only 2.5% of that water is drinkable. Scientist speculate that our water supply is rapidly shrinking.
Saving rain water can be an efficient way to help save our water supply. Don’t waste drinking water on your lawns, flower beds, and trees daily.
Some of the best ways of harvesting rain water, is your basic large trash can or even those huge storage tubs. You can place them near the shed or behind the house, but in a place that easy to get to.
If you have well water this will keep you from wasting precious drinking water and if your paying for your water this will also lower your water bill.
Spring Planting
One of our favorite times of the year is Spring because things are in bloom in the yard and we start adding some new trees, bushes and get the garden going. So heres just a few things going on.
Try Using Recycled Paper Towels
I have used several brands of Recycled paper towels and to me the best is Trader Joe’s. For one they are 2 play and the roll is pretty thick. It soaks up liquids pretty good too. It doesn’t leave any lint behind when I use it. You get 3 large rolls for $3.99. I bought one time Marcal and I got a lot of rolls for almost $20 bucks but the rolls are small, one ply and its easy to go through them quickly. Now the Marcal paper towels I used was several months ago. I recenlty went to their website and they seem to be making new and improved products. I will have to give them a try, maybe I will get a better deal. And of course I will post this.
