Reuse Cooking Water In Garden

February 3, 2010

By steaming your veggies (and for those that still boil or microwave them), there are still a lot of minerals left in the water that we dispose of down the drain. I re-purpose this mineral rich water for my bedding plants! My neighbors think I have a "green thumb", but I am only being green by reusing the waste water that is infused with minerals. I have been doing this for over 20 years and always have the best flowering and growing plants on the block!

Save water! Rather than throw leftover water down the drain (from drinking cups or boiling food), use it. I keep a watering can outside my kitchen door that I use to water small outdoor plants.
