Save Water, Grow Tomatoes and Deal with AC Water Drip
For Israeli Readers (or those with leaky air conditioning units worldwide): In most of the world air conditioning units are piped into the drainage systems in our homes. However, in Israel and other places that AC units are installed on the fly (or if you have a self-installed window unit) the water just leaks out onto the street, sidewalk or on the heads of unsuspecting passers-by. Now you can harness that third world comfort and grow a beautiful garden with the run-off.

All in all this was a fun and beneficial project… it saves precious resources, makes you work less in the garden, and because the water contains no chlorine… your vegetables taste much better and the plants don’t yellow as much.
This is a good Sunday project and requires a bit of technical know-how but the benefits are huge! Fresh produce, herbs and flower, saving precious water, preventing mold growth from water run-off; it’s just a win-win-win!
