We live in a small village where we are not hooked up to an endless supply of water.  I have decided to help the environment and our water suply, by using greywater to water my plants.  My mum and I went to the supermarket and chose a laundry liquid that wouldn’t harm my plants.  When mum does the washing I capture the water in a large tub.  I use this to water my garden.  It is best not to get the water on the leaves. You have to be careful when using greywater because of bacteria.

Today I planted my sunflowers. I got my dad to drill holes in the bottom of ten buckets and I filled them with soil. I planted the seeds and put the buckets around the water tanks in the full sun. Im excited to see how tall they grow.  My seedlings are growing so fast. Unfortunately my tomato seeds I planted didn’t germinate.  I bought the same kind of seeds at the warehouse and planted them again.  Lets hope they catch up to my other plants.  They are moneymaker tomatoes.
