Lightbulb Free water

Hi
I dont know if this will mean anything to anybody? I have 2 window a/c units that i use. There was what seemed to be alot of water dripping from them. I took 5 gallon bucket and in 1 day filled it with water. I used this for my plants. Between the 2 buckets i had nearly enough for my plants in containers I just thought this might help to conserve water a bit for some. Have a good one

I use to do the same thing with the dehydrator in the basement. Sure beat using a sprinkler which waters the weeds along with the food.

Me three!

Since it went to triple digits so early this year and we had to put the AC on, I put 2 barrels under my AC compressor and drip line units. It is a split system meant for our big house (love the E+star rating!) and I'm getting some seriously wonderful water out of it.

Makes up for the extra the plants are needing!
