Captured shower water as the water heated up!
Then emptied the bucket into our yard onto the lavender trumpet vine that needs some love.

Collected water from poo-less showers in my 3 gallon bucket and watered my pee spot with it.

Our family caught water from when the shower was warming up for a while. It was enough to water a newly planted shrub and an 8' raised bed.

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must show proof of the following (as pictures or a video < 2 mins):
 - Three gallons of water from your shower that's obviously poo-less
 - Giving the water to something outside or to flush a toilet

The photos of both requirements are attached. Blessing Catherine The Grateful

Captured water from my shower into a big metal pail. (I estimate it’s a 5 gallon pail)
Used the water for my apricot starts and the lilac bush.

This pail is filled to about 3/4 of the way. I used a small watering can to make carrying it more manageable.
