While the water is heating to the right temperature we collect it in our bucket which, in turn, gets poured on to our plants. It's totally clean water so we can use it on our vege garden or other plants. You'd be amazed at how much water we waste while waiting for that temperature balance! In a house with 2 kids & 2 adults it means buckets full every week. Love these articles! In a country of so much packaging and waste it is inspiring to read articles like this. Keep spreading your wonderful words 🙂
