Topic: Rainwater: Don’t Let it Go Down the Drain presented byMark Scaramucci
Harvesting rainwater provides an alternative to using potable drinking water for gardening and other home uses. In this workshop you will learn practical methods to capture a portion of your own water for landscape applications.
