Is your rain garden ready?

Time to get digging if you want to do your part to collect rain water on your property. No, not for you silly, it’s so water can seep into the water table and come out in the ocean clean.

A rain garden is simply a depression dug, usually in the lowest part of your property, so water can collect there and take it’s time seeping in - think the opposite of runoff where rain hits the gutters and goes directly down the storm drain and into the sea. And not the same as collecting rain water from your roof, although you can certainly direct this water to your rain garden.

You can plant plants there, if you like, or create a decorative gravel groove. Up to you. (Pic from The Watershed.com)
