A big part of going green with your garden or farm is learning how to conserve water. Here is a great article on setting up a small scale water system to use rain water for your garden.

Last week (finally) we set up a few water barrels. We put one midway between the cistern and the garden. We put another at the foot of the first raised bed and the final one between the first and second sets of raised beds. The idea is that once the hoses leading between them are full, the water will naturally siphon from one to the next and we will have free-flowing water from the final barrel. link

What are you doing to conserve water in your garden?
