Of course then I would need a very good fence to keep out the rats, squirrels, bunnies, neighbor dogs and javelinas. If it's not one thing, it's another.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-4936030610148622072009-04-26T12:01:00.000-07:002009-04-26T12:01:00.000-07:00have you thought about planting your tomatoes in a...have you thought about planting your tomatoes in a small depression in the soil? It allows the base of the plant to be at a slightly lower temperature and helps moisture stay retained around the roots. It's good for dry climates. It would also lower the evaporation rate over using a pot for your plants.moociferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325412523164314073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-9625718561912594572009-04-26T07:35:00.000-07:002009-04-26T07:35:00.000-07:00Oh, the dermatologist is gonna give you a lickin'!...Oh, the dermatologist is gonna give you a lickin'! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-74402729224252857672009-04-26T01:39:00.000-07:002009-04-26T01:39:00.000-07:00Hiya

I guess its a bit dryer and hotter there though so maybe thats why she is a heavy drinker!<br />LizzieLizzie @ her homeworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18257339462096688164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-91230205419499060172009-04-25T19:04:00.000-07:002009-04-25T19:04:00.000-07:00The cat drinks 2 liters in 12 days or so.

It helps a lot to have an RV toilet. It uses like, 1 cup per flush. A shower takes maybe 7 gallons. I wash dishes once a week and that takes 2 gallons. Laundry uses about 20 gallons but I try to do it only every other week. Teeth brushing water and the occasional water for cooking comes from other sources (friends' houses). The more water I conserve the less time I have to spend transferring water from tank to tank.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-35299181201523646232009-04-25T18:40:00.000-07:002009-04-25T18:40:00.000-07:0012 more weeks before you expect rain again is so o...12 more weeks before you expect rain again is so odd to think about. We'll have a chance of rain more days than not for a while yet.<br /><br />50 gallons of water used per week is incredible. In water supply classes in school, we used 100 gallons per person per <B>DAY</B> for design.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.com
