Put bricks in your toilets. You will often find that the toilet will still flush without a problem, but, when the tank refills, it will fill with less water due to the volume of the brick. Just add successive bricks until the flush quality becomes poor. You can also break a brick in half to optimize.

I don’t have a rainbarrel, but I collect rainwater in plastic buckets and fill up used gallon milk jugs. The plants love natural rainwater.

I use the water from my dehumidifier for watering plants also.

I shower and wash my hair every other day, except in the hot summer. I also save on my bill by showering at the gym whenever I can do so. (The monthly fee is fixed, so why not.)

I re-use glasses for water and clear liquids, and often re-use my coffee mugs also with only a quick rinse.

Wow, really great tips and I don’t have much to add to it. One thing that you should remember is with the square foot garden, you should be able to give each plant about a cup a day. You just ladle it right onto the roots of the plant. I love the rain barrel idea and if I had gutters, I would use one to water my garden as it is, I use the left over water from the animals. I have to empty the water troughs every few days anyway so I just grab a bucket and go.

Why not get a rain barrel? It might be a little late in the season to fill it up now, but a couple of those will definitely help with watering plants and gardens.

Or find a way to re-use grey water. If you do dishes in a tub in the sink, throw the water in the garden instead of down the drain.
