Been close to 6 months with very little to no rain in our area. All cisterns are empty and we’re back to taking long hikes to the spring but we did all we can to prepare for the day the rain finally returns. It took me some time to get the welding done on these gutter brackets (due to gas ‘shortage’) but at least they’re finally up! . . Nou gen prèke 6 mwa depi lapli tonbe nan zòn nou an. Tout sitèn yo vid epi nou tounen nan mache pou nou ale nan sous. Nou te fè tout sa nou kapab pou prepare yo pou jou a lapli a finalman retounen. Li te pran m 'kèk tan pou soude ankadreman dal la (akòz gaz' mank ') men omwen yo finalman enstale. . . #growninhaiti #gutters #rain #watercatchment #community #preparation #welding #waterislife #notcomplaining #haiti #ayiti https://www.instagram.com/p/CowvT0VuCUc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Did you know that all of our water needs come from rain water? After two months without a drop, we finally got some rain again! Everyone’s cisterns had dried out and I even had to move the plants closer to the house so that I can water them with whatever I find to shower with. Now I’m going around collecting any standing water I find in the yard to store for for the days to come. I’m soooooooo grateful right now! . . Èske w te konnen tout bezwen dlo nou yo soti nan dlo lapli? Apre de mwa san yon gout, nou finalman te resevwa yon ti lapli yè swa! Sitèn tout moun te fin chèch nèt epi mwen menm te gen pou avanse plant yo pi pre kay la pou m 'ka wouze yo ak dlo m’ap benyen a. Koulye a, mwen pral alantou Lakou a pou’m kolekte nenpòt dlo kanpe mwen jwenn pou’m konsève pou jou kap vini yo. Mwen di mesi! . . #growninhaiti #cistern #watercatchment #rainwater #waterislife #community #sustainable #rehydrate #grateful #mesi https://www.instagram.com/p/CmG0ImzOqIz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Almost done with the community center annex. All that’s missing now is the roof. Hoping this gas shortage ends soon in order to make that possible before we miss these rainy days. The primary reason for extending the space with an annex is to have a rooftop that can fill the water reservoir underneath it.

IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SPEND, IT’S THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT. Every once in a while, I get feedback about articles that feature high-end gear. The comments are typically respectfully presented as they ask, ultimately, if I’ve lost a screw or two. Paraphrasing, these comments go something like, “Who can afford a small plane to …

Our 250 gallon water catchment is full and so is the 50 gallon over flow. I will be adding another 250 later this year. #watercatchment #rainbarrel #urbanfarming #texasyardninja (at Little Elm, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAnnuS0AYKZ/?igshid=ftuu5yig5nff

Spider web is doing a great job at not only catching bugs but also the morning dew. I wonder if these spiders have a water catchment system set up 🤔 ・・・ #growninhaiti #dew #morning #spiderweb #watercatchment #homestead #haiti #ayiti #homestead #foodforest #biodiversity #nopesticides https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Bk2rulHzk/?igshid=dd35k2qn4mg7
