Mesa’s Upcoming Living Green Workshop, Harvesting Rainwater for Your Landscape (Graywater Too)
Rainfall amounts may be minimal here in the low desert, but harvesting rainwater to channel to your landscape plants can be well worth the effort–especially with state tax credits available. Over 7,000 gallons of water a year can be harvested from the rooftop and other surfaces around a typical home. Rainwater is free and contains lots of minerals and nutrients that will boost plant growth. Learn how you can harvest multiple benefits with rainwater collection from the City of Mesa’s February $ustainability $avings Tip (PDF). You may also want to attend Mesa’s February Living Green Workshop titled Harvesting Rainwater for Your Landscape (PDF) on Saturday, February 12th at 1:30 p.m. at the Mesa Main Library, 64 E. First St.
