Get Into Gardening

Spa's Good ListThe victory garden is back! Grow your own salad ingredients, cutting down your dependency on factory-farmed food, reducing your carbon footprint, and lowering your grocery bill. You can get great tips for your part of the country from Burpee. Once you've got your garden planted, or if you just want to cut down on water for your lawn, check out the efficient Rainwater Hog, which captures and stores rainwater to be used later. In addition to watering the garden, the rainwater can be used to flush toilets or run the washing machine.
