You can also collect the condensation water from your a/c, if you have
one.  We have central a/c and the pvc pipe running down the outside of our
house just drips onto the ground under our deck.  I placed a
bucket underneath it this morning and by evening collected 10 gallons.
(Our a/c has been at 78.)  Water from the air.

Funny - I also used the salad spinner and pasta water (cooled version)
tonight :)

Thank you Paula! Your message is very inspiring!

The clouds are darkening, and I’m putting out pails and barrels to (hopefully) 
catch some rain!!

Also, little things like avoiding flushing toilet unnecessarily (I used to 
flush bugs down the toilet!!) and take shorter showers and not let water run 
while brushing teeth and washing up… (just learned to capture water in the 
shower while waiting for it to warm up) 

There are lots of ways to be creative and support each other during this time.

Best,

Water from the salad spinner is generally enough for an outdoor planter.

Hi All, 

I believe on the town website it states that only commercial agricultural 
gardens are allowed to be watered.

I like Sasha’s idea using a bucket while showering.

I also have a vegetable garden which feeds my family and also keep up my 
perennial and annual gardens but when resources become low, I respect the 
requests from the town.

Let’s all try to come up with a solution to save our precious resources rather 
than getting caught up in specific language.  

I’m sure we can all come up with some really innovative and fantastic ideas to 
share!

My best,

Great tip!

NPR had a story last week about a trial project in Tucson for residents to
collect rainwater in large capacity rain barrels (I think they said 1000
gallon capacity?).  The resident interviewed said that he was able to
supply %90 of his water needs from the recovered rainwater - and that his
yard looked like a verdant oasis with green and vibrant native mesquite
trees and plants.

I doubt we'll have to go that far, but we can do a lot with recovered
'waste' water.

 On July 21, with the majority of the state currently experiencing

 today declared a Level 3-Critical Drought in the Northeast and Central

 bring it into compliance with the state protocols. Stage 4 now stipulates:

 NOTE: Agricultural watering for commercial farming is considered
 essential

 *Don’t panic, an established lawn can handle a drought* like this.
 Below Is a link to a treatise on managing your lawn during a drought. It’s
 an ad I found on-line, but it’s very well written:


 https://theturfgrassgroup.com/turf-care/caring-for-your-lawn-before-during-and-after-a-drought/

 Key points:

 1.   An established lawn can survive without water for 2 -3 weeks.
 It is better to let it go dormant than to keep it going with too little
 water.

 2.   A dormant lawn requires only ¼ to ½ inch of water every 2 – 4
 weeks to keep it alive. Check the white area at the base of the plant.
 If it still off-white, it is OK. If it is starting to turn brown, time to
 give it a light watering as above so as to preserve it without bringing it
 out of dormancy

 3.   Stay off the grass while it is dormant.

 *Most established shrubs can also survive a drought.* A heavy mulch
 helps to preserve moisture.

 This will be a difficult time for all of us, but these actions are
 essential to save the rivers, streams, ground water, and native flora and
 fauna.

Re: [LincolnTalk] ALERT: COMPLETE OUTDOOR WATERING BAN

2022-07-25 Thread Sasha Golden 
Here's a California girl's tip to save otherwise-wasted water for those
outdoor plants:

Keep buckets or small plastic trash cans in your kitchen and bathrooms.
Stick them under the faucet or shower stream to catch cold water while you
wait for the hot water to come up. Keep the bucket in the shower or tub
while you wash up to catch the water that doesn't hit your body. (Just be
careful to position the bucket so you don't get soap in it.) Depending on
the number of people in your house, you may find yourself with 2-5 extra
gallons of water a day.

Agreed, I dont see vegetable gardens on list.If not with hose, are
watering cans allowed?  We have had fair sucess watering large vegetable
garden with cans/buckets in Wayland.   Wayland has not allowed hose
watering for past month.

Can someone clarify what this means for those of us with vegetable

[LincolnTalk] ALERT: COMPLETE OUTDOOR WATERING BAN

2022-07-24 Thread Ruth Ann Hendrickson 
*OUTDOOR WATERING BAN CALLED BY STATE: LINCOLN GOES TO STAGE 4 WATERING 
RESTRICTION*


On July 21, with the majority of the state currently experiencing 
elevated temperatures and forecasts predicting little to no meaningful 
precipitation, Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) Secretary Beth 
Card today declared a Level 3-Critical Drought in the Northeast and 
Central Regions of the state.


_This means Lincoln Water Department is moving to Lincoln’s Stage 4_ 
Drought Protocol, our highest level. We revised our Stage 4 this spring 
to bring it into compliance with the state protocols. Stage 4 now 
stipulates:


>>>*NO NON-ESSENTIAL OUTDOOR WATERING, NOT EVEN HAND WATERING<<<*

NOTE: Agricultural watering for commercial farming is considered essential

*Don’t panic, an established lawn can handle a drought* like this. Below 
Is a link to a treatise on managing your lawn during a drought. It’s an 
ad I found on-line, but it’s very well written:


https://theturfgrassgroup.com/turf-care/caring-for-your-lawn-before-during-and-after-a-drought/

Key points:

1.An established lawn can survive without water for 2 -3 weeks. It is 
better to let it go dormant than to keep it going with too little water.


2.A dormant lawn requires only ¼ to ½ inch of water every 2 – 4 weeks to 
keepit alive. Check the white area at the base of the plant. If it still 
off-white, it is OK. If it is starting to turn brown, time to give it a 
light watering as above so as to preserve it without bringing it out of 
dormancy


3.Stay off the grass while it is dormant.

*Most established shrubs can also survive a drought.* A heavy mulch 
helps to preserve moisture.


This will be a difficult time for all of us, but these actions are
