    Doesn't seem like anyone visits this thread anymore, but incase someone does... we are in a drought from hell right now... for 3 weeks, we've had our sprinklers turned off, and can only hand water the lawn and landscaping beds ON our WATER DAY, for ONLY one hour a week.... so to keep the plants and flowers from suffering our drought & heat combo, I have big buckets outside my masterbath window, and after every bath, I open the window and collect the grey water to feed the plants. The soap from the water, acts like a pesticide..and the hair from the water is great for killing the snails and slugs ((drys them out naturally)).

    I'm doing our part and it aggrivates me to NO END to drive down the road and see people watering their lawns or sprinklers on.
