Water recycling herb garden!

After 2 semi successful garden seasons and lots of lessons learned, we have added an herb garden to our list of home projects.  This is not your ordinary herb garden either.  We have built in a water conservation idea into it, and it really works too!   It all began with the idea to recycle the 25 gallons of backflush water that our carbon filter expels every two weeks.

    Hi Nicole,

    I wanted to send you a quick note because I read what you wrote about water conservation above.

    I just finished helping to create an infographic about how much fresh water goes into things we do and consume. The idea is to bring a little extra awareness to what our every day impact is.

    Some of the information was pretty surprising! I had no idea just how much water is needed to produce some of the foods I eat...

    Anyway, after reading what you wrote, I thought you might like to use the infographic on A New Life In Texas.

    It's totally free to use, of course. If you do use it, please link back to the original source so anyone else that would like to use it can too.

    The infographic is here in the original post link: http://www.lochnesswatergardens.com/pondblog/how-much-water/


    Thanks!!
