HOW TO HAVE ENOUGH WATER
TO WATER YOUR BONSAI
The following are steps you can take to
ensure you have enough water for your bonsai trees –
1. Install a rainwater tank
2. Put a bucket in the shower to collect the water while you are
adjusting the shower temperature.
3. Save the rinse water from your washing machine. Use your laundry
sink to catch this water but check that you have an overflow outlet
so you don’t flood the laundry if your machine has a large capacity.
The water from 2 and 3 can be stored in drums that you can seal off
so you do not get mozzies breeding in it.
You can dumk water your trees in a tray such as the storage bins
with lids you can purchase. I got mine from Crazy Clarkes. Organic
fertilizers can be added to this watering method for feeding your
trees. Any left over water in your tray can be poured around the
plants in the garden.
Hosing from your rain water tank is best if you have a large
collection. I am not sure but I heard that rainwater tanks for
garden purposes only can be filled from re-cycle water that you can
purchase.
