I know that is considered "grey water" but how do you filter out the sopa?
I use eco-friendly laundry detergent. Ok to soak into the ground and for irrigation, but not for vegetable gardens.

Sorry for being obtuse but what do you water if not your vegetable garden? Is it OK for grass, bushes, flowers? as in things you would not eat?
I have small bamboo groves, brushes, and privacy screens which need constant watering during the summer months.
Today, I put an old Weber 1000 grill back into service. I picked this one up last weekend from my local Freecycle. It's very similar to my first Weber which I bought in 1999 for $500. These pre-2000 Webers are a classic. So when I get an opportunity to get one for free, I take it.
The frame was in very good shape. The flavor bars were shot. Same for the grates. I tossed those in the garbage. Then I cleaned out the grill. Took the flavor bars & grates from my old grill and put them into this one. I also swapped out the gas manifold (it was propane and I switched it to natural gas). It looks great!
Meanwhile, my old grill is in my "shop" to undergo a major rehab. I'll sand off the rust and repaint the frame. The hood was taken apart so I can degrease it and repaint it. So when it's all done, it'll be almost like new.
One reason why I like these grills is that you can easily find parts for them. Also, the burners run left-to-right so I can use a rotisserie attachment. When I get a chance, I'll try to post a picture of it.
I just put together a batch of Polish dill pickles - 10 cute little Kirbys. They're busy doing their thing in a corner of the basement right now, which has been fluctuating between 68 and 70 degrees. Perfect. Now all I have to do is remember to take that heel end of the rye bread from under the plate tomorrow...
Yep, those are the ones, CG. Thanks. Who'd have thunk that I'd be heading for Los Angeles County to get away from aftershocks and spend a few days on solid ground. That just seems sort of backwards. Ha. It'll be fun to be with the littles for a few days, and enjoy some great restaurants.
Sounds like you've been crazy busy!

But busy in a good way, Cheryl. Two weeks ago was the landscaping re-do, so I've been watering in the trees and plants daily. It looks like the trees will take just fine - good thing, two, since between the both of them we spent $330! All the plants were moved from within my gardens. Two of the three boxwood shrubs are fine; the third needs me to give it a nice pruning, I guess. Daylily plants have blooms; I hope they don't drop.
I need to get the rest of the house spic-and-span, then line up painters. Meanwhile, when this heat breaks in a week we'll do a Lowe's run to get plans for our handyman to build the exit platform from our sun room.
Can you tell I decided to kick this "moving home" thing into high gear? I hope my engine doesn't run out of steam anytime soon.
Oh, I'm so glad you're getting outa Dodge for a spell {{Chery}}l!! Those aftershocks have got to be brutal on your nerves, to say the least. Before you head back home, I bet you'll be making a Trader Joe's run? Hope they have some Kringles for your freezer!! Drive carefully and have some fun for a change!!
Although I can't quite grasp the thought of wanting to move to Cleveland , if that is what you want... Go for it!!!
