Vegetable Garden

Our foray into vegetable gardening was confined to growing one tomato plant last year. We have become quite ambitious this summer and are into a full blown vegetable garden. The experiments so far has yielded us some nice green fruits. In this process we have found new ways to conserve and re-use water. We have been preparing our own compost from all the vegetable and fruit waste generated in the process of cooking. The experience so far has been very rewarding.

We have planted eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, okra, mint, water melon.

Some way to conserve water that we have consciously integrated in our every day lives are -
1. Collecting the cold water until the hot water comes during the daily bath. This alone provides for nearly 2-3 buckets of water.
2. Collecting the water used to rinse the utensils in the kitchen.

Do you have any other ways? Please share.
