FREE Water was ILLEGAL…He Changed That…
"Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to Tucson, Arizona to film the epic work of rainwater harvesting pioneer, Brad Lancaster. We tour the neighborhood of Dunbar Springs, where Brad has been transforming the hot asphalt streets into a native food oasis over the last 30 years."
Capturing rainwater in the curb and letting it sink into the ground where it falls.
Pretty neat.

We survived Day 1 of the #HeatDome. Temps were in the low-90's and very humid. Living room was down to 77 with the portable A/C running for a couple of hours (mostly for the doggo, though we enjoyed it). The exhaust tube was getting a bit too hot for my comfort level, so now it's back to the fans. Tomorrow is supposed to be 100 F. I just watered both gardens -- nothing is wilting... yet. Used only collected #rainwater for watering. And bonus -- I salvaged a #Turmeric plant that was growing in a #Compost pile!

#HarvestingRainwater with Brad Lancaster: How to Create Livable Desert Cities
by Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't
Jun 9, 2026Part 1 of a 3 Video Series
"In this episode we see the incredible work that Brad Lancaster and his community are doing to make the #DunbarSpring Neighborhood in #TucsonAZ a cooler, more pleasant and human-friendly place to live by using plants as infrastructure and creating a #FoodForest using #NativePlants that are adapted to deal with the desert heat perfectly because they evolved there.
"This video shows us how what Brad and his community have done serve as a model as to what could be down to make cities all over the globe more livable, illustrating how human development and nature do not have to be mutually exclusive. Filming this video and seeing that Brad and his people have done made me feel in something I haven't felt in a long time : hope."

Storing Rain in Garden Fences
Photo: Judith Jockel/The Guardian. In the Netherlands, Harry den Hartigh installs a fence that also serves as a rainwater store. Not to stereotype, but the Dutch strike me as exceptionally good problem solvers. (Maybe the bloggers at Cook and Drink can give an informed opinion.) Most of us know how they built their country on a delta and today advise other places threatened with flooding. Senay Boztas writes at the Guardian that the Netherlands is now experimenting with a new way to […]https://suzannesmomsblog.com/2026/06/07/storing-rain-in-garden-fences/

Longer term I would love to have a permanent #solar setup integrated into the house, but for now I am looking for flexibility and incremental sustainability improvements. Even if I end up doing something radical later, this will still be useful to me.
Our other impending home improvement project is #rainwater reclamation for #gardening, probably using this system.

Building #Resilience in Your #Garden for Challenges
April 17, 2024 by Hellen James
"Gardening can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s not without its challenges. From unpredictable weather patterns to pests and diseases, maintaining a thriving garden requires resilience. In this article, we’ll explore practical strategies to build resilience in your garden, ensuring it can withstand whatever challenges come its way.
Takeaways
1. Choose resilient plant varieties suited to your climate and soil conditions.
2. Improve soil health with #compost, #WormCastings, and cover crops to support plant resilience.
3. Implement water-efficient strategies such as #DripIrrigation and #rainwater harvesting to conserve water.
4. Utilize #NaturalPestControl methods like introducing beneficial insects and #CompanionPlanting.
5. Adapt to changing climate conditions by incorporating climate-resilient gardening practices.
6. Plan and prepare for each season to optimize plant growth and resilience.
7. Foster #biodiversity through companion planting and native plant selections to enhance garden resilience.
8. Create microclimates to tailor growing conditions to the specific needs of your plants.
9. #Mulch to suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, and retain moisture for improved resilience.
10. Embrace #SustainableGardening practices to build long-term #resilience and environmental #stewardship.Full article:
