Rodney--I got a device to test last year ("Water Watch") that actually keeps
a running tab on the amount of water used from a single spigot (in gallons,
up to 90). Its small, simple and cheap, and with a notebook, would give you
a fairly exact estimate.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out an estimate of the average amount of water
used
in a 6880 sq. ft garden at an apartment complex. The water for the
complex
and for the garden are billed together so it's difficult to assess how
much
of the water is being used in the garden. Does anyone have information
regarding the number of gallons or CCF of water used per month or per
growing season in a community garden and if so, what is the sq/ft. of that
garden?
