Prepare for rains now
We are again in the midst of our dry season. People are waiting for the winter rains. It is that time of year when we have forgotten how we felt when we saw all that monsoon rain water running off our roof and yard and out into the street and out of our lives. Remember? We’ve forgotten that promise we made ourselves to “next year do some rainwater harvesting.” Other things have taken priority; the holidays are here, family is coming into town, the car registration is due, the list goes on… But, we need to remember, we need to prepare… The time is now, while we are dry; while we are anticipating the sweet onset of rain; before we see that water running out of our lives. Do something to keep it around. Get out into the yard, create some earthworks, install a cistern, put up gutters and downspouts to direct that water where it will do some good for your landscape. When the rains come you’ll be glad you did! Remember as of the first of the year, the state is giving a TAX CREDIT of up to $1,000 toward the installation of a water harvesting system.
