It’s raining today,
finally (we really need the rain here). Last year I finally decided to practice what I preach (not
that I typically evangelize), and installed 2 rainwater barrels at the Pumpkinhouse. I have used the water for my compost
pile, and other hand watering in the vegetable garden. They only take a few days of rain to
fill, and unfortunately don’t capture as many gallons as we begin to use in our
veggie garden. But it is so
wonderful to collect the rainwater and return it to the earth while using it to
feed ourselves (and our worms). And
it definitely teaches me to appreciate the rainfall in a new way.
