Save water and your trash with this project.
We had a garden growing up. While my mother never was 100% intentionally 'green', she was incredibly frugal and the frugal and green lifestyles cross a lot of paths. Her frugality spawned a lot of green behaviors, whether or not she knew it. She always made a point to water her garden with a hand waterer instead of the hose. Why? Well, because the hose wasted more water and wasting more water meant wasting more money. She'd measure out her water for her plants and make a second or third trip back for more water if she had to, but she absolutely would not water the garden with a 'water-wasting hose'.
I now realize what a great idea that was.
If you too like the idea of watering your garden with a hand waterer, why not make your own?
