Don’t let water go to waste: it can add moisture and nutrition for your plants

Get around water scarcities. Re-use cooking water. Take out whatever you’ve been cooking and let the water cool to room temperature. You can also re-use dishwashing water, if your cleaner is organic and non-oil-based.

Add nutrients. Whatever you’ve cooked will mean that the water has extra nutrition for plants. For example, calcium from hard boiled eggs, or iron from spinach. Just avoid using water that’s been salted.

Kill weeds. Or don’t let your water have time to cool after boiling, and (carefully!) tip it over areas with weeds.
