Isn't it amazing? The palm trees aren't even on the drip system and we still had hundreds of thousands of dates. And, if I get the right seeds adapted to the Sonoran Desert, I can plant with the summer rain and not have to water them much at all.
Our water bill is not high at all, even with the swimming pool. We compost, mulch, and get large bags of coffee grinds from Starbucks.
Last night, I set my buckets, tubs, and garbage containers out for the rain.
My daughter does that, even up here in rain country...lol
