In community and home gardens we can adopt the permaculture design principle of use and value renewable resources and services to harvest rainwater from the roof of our shelter and sheds, store it in a tank and use it for garden irrigation.
Combined with the compost and mulch, harvesting and using rainwater is another water-conserving technique to keep our gardens growing through the hot summer months and during drought.
Community gardens and city farms are places where people come together to grow fresh food, to learn, relax and make new friends.
