White Strawberries: Gardening for Wellness & Joy
Water Wisely: Recycling & Irrigation Tips | With Sofee D
đ§ đŚď¸ If youâve ever looked at a garden hose like it was made of goldâthis oneâs for you.
In this episode of White Strawberries, I have a conversation with Sophie, a Zero Waste Educator, about the messy magic of water in the garden. From buckets of bathwater to rainwater you wish you could store, we share what itâs really like managing waterâwhether you live in a tiny house on a large amount of land, or a suburban backyard, this ones for you.
đż We explore:
⢠Why water is your biggest limiting factorâand how to work with it
⢠What happens when you skip the septic and start bucketing bathwater
⢠Real-life greywater setups (that actually work for food forests!)
⢠Why winter rain can be too muchâand how to trap moisture for summer
⢠The waterâBRIXâsoil connection: better watering, better nutrients
⢠Small-scale systems that suit urban and rural gardeners alike
đĄ Tiny homes, suburban gardens, and big garden dreams all welcome in this splashy, honest water chat.
