I use the water from foods that I boil (lobster, corn, eggs, pasta, etc.) and dump that in my plant containers on my deck. The plants get a few nutrients too!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08508612331063038590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6795557081512687909.post-22668015667793702802010-09-01T15:41:20.026-04:002010-09-01T15:41:20.026-04:00This is an excellent idea and one I haven't th...This is an excellent idea and one I haven't thought of yet. Thank you so much Sea Witch! If any of your readers are looking for a great environmentally friendly soap, you can always lead them to Dr. Bronner's.

Also, must tell you how wonderful your Victorian booth is looking, and how much I adore the costumes you made.

Great minds working together, that's what Project Genesis is all about!<br /><br />I use my bucket to catch the rainwater for my porch plants. I'd love to have one of those BIG ones with a tap.

Even if you only gathered while you were doing your first rinse off it would matter over a period of a few showers.<br /><br />Little steps=big payoff.<br /><br />Thank you so much for joining Genesis today!<br /><br />Suzanoldgreymarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04797732200457673279noreply@blogger.com
