They also go into the cost effectiveness of it in NJ, for watering their garden. They didn't think it paid for them, but those of us on wells would benefit from it.

My garden is small enough to hand water with a can, but as I get more proficient at veggie gardening, I'll need soaker hoses set up.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36373705.post-14194579801540000992008-06-22T15:12:00.000-04:002008-06-22T15:12:00.000-04:00Alexandra,We connected a small hose near the top o...Alexandra,<BR/><BR/>We connected a small hose near the top of our rainwater barrel, draped the hose through the veg plot and put small holes in it.
