  • WATERING YOUR GARDEN the Smart Way! Today we'll show you how to install a rainwater collection system to collect water from the roof and gutters. Prepare for the next drought by installing a water collection system. 2022 was a year of historic droughts, and scientists say that the world is only going to get drier. How do we water our garden? We installed 2 different water harvesting systems to harvest rainwater from our roof and gutters. By taking advantage of the fall and winter rains, we are ensuring that we have water for our vegetable garden and fruit trees.

    Have you been affected by droughts this year? 2022 has been a year of droughts in the US, Europe, Asia, and many other parts of the world, and scientists say that the world is only going to get drier. By taking advantage of the fall and winter rains, we are ensuring that we have water for our vegetable garden and fruit trees next year. Do you have a water collection system for your garden?

      Thanks, my friend. This summer really sent me a wake-up call, so hopefully we’ll be ready for the next drought!

    This summer we didn't have much rain and one heatwave after the other. My neighbors have 1 watertank (200l) for the garden. Our gardens are not very big and normally that's sufficient. I have several tanks (they add up to 1000l) but it wasn't not enough this year. I'm going to get at least two more barrels next year. Have a great weekend Valerie 🌻 Greetings Heidi 👩‍🌾🌸

      Hi Heidi, that’s a great idea. You’re right, it was a brutal summer, and although this was the worst, it’s not the first drought/heatwaves we’ve had the past few years. We’re also looking at putting another, even larger tank close to the garden to be ready for the next one! Wishing you a happy weekend 🪴Take care Valerie

      Thanks J&C! We’ve got rain predicted all weekend, so I think all the tanks will be full by Sunday. Have a great weekend

    OMG this is such a good and smart idea. We do also collect rainwater but not that much I regret not saving that water for the drought season. Hope this season won't happen again, but it is good to be prepared. You did a great job! I have to research more about this system. 🌞🌼🌸👑🤗

    • @NowGardening
