    Water for Your Garden

    I am trying to use my city water less and less since it costs me $. I mentioned on my thread that I empty the dehumidifier in the garage and put it to good use. If it's too far I can pour it into a plastic bucket and transport it on my riding mower to wherever. I also am trying to leave my...
