running out of water?

by Dee W

Answered

For those of you with a sump pump and going thru a dry spell with no rain, if your pump discharges outside you can run it and get groundwater to use on your plants. I just emptied my rain barrels today and with no rain in the forecast until next week this will help tide my plants over without resorting to city water.
