🪣 How to collect rainwater on a balcony?
-
A bucket or window box – place it under the gutter or in a place where it drips most often.
-
A lid with holes – so that neither leaves nor… mosquitoes can fly in 😬
-
Filter made of gauze or an old curtain – DIY level: balcony ninja 🥷
On your plot or in your garden you have more scope to show off – from a classic barrel to a professional underground tank 💧🛢️
🌿 How to water wisely?
💡 In the morning or evening – water doesn't evaporate as quickly as at noon ☀️
💡 Watering at the base of the plant – without wetting the leaves 💧
💡 Soil with the addition of hydrogel or perlite – retains moisture longer
💡 Install a drip system – you water once, your plants drink all day 🚿
