Rain water class...

I attended the Rain Water Harvesting class sponsored by @kwacob at @urbanreapwaco today. Such a cool experience and I walked away with my very own rain water barrel!



This is a tee-pee made out of loofa vine! Never knew there was such a thing. Heard you can take a loofa sponge and put it in dirt and it will grow. Sounds strange, but I just may give it a try.

Pocket melon... never heard of it either... they said it has a weird taste and smells like a cantaloupe.

Harvesting basil..


They even have a compost recycling program called ‘bucket exchange’. You pay a small amount for a 5 gallon bucket and fill it up with kitchen compost.  When it’s full, you bring it back and exchange it for an empty bucket. You can earn free dirt,  plants, classes... it’s a pretty neat deal. 

Here is my own rain barrel. Not my color, but it will do the job. If this all works the way they say... I’m getting a full wine barrel and making another one that’s a little bit more fancy. 

Next on my list is a rain chain... always wanted one of those.
