Hi Sam, you might check with the county about again rain water you can get. If you can you can make a on the ground roof to catch rain water. Go to youtube and check out living in a tiny box. He used four 2,500 gallons (news one ) but you can find them used on Craigslist. I live in golden valley,az, there some for sale for as little as $400.00. If you look around and on Craigslist you could find the sheet metal. You could also sink a aboveground pool for water storage, a 15 foot pool holds up to 4,400 to 5,000 gallons. You need to keep it covered. Also you could use a pond liner and keep that covered. Pond liners are about 18 to 20 mill, pool start at 25mill. Again you can find used pools at the end of summer on I know, I know craigslist.but first get to know the lay of the land. Do you have any washes on your ( more free water ) , I have a wash that gets about 3 to 5 million gallons of water each year , free! And that in the desert. I'm only asking for 30,000 gallons. Even I could say what desert.

Hi, Becky we also live in AZ, in golden valley next to kingman. They say we get about 8 inches of rain per year. Not much so far. You should look into rain water harvesting, you could save thousands of gallons of free water. Your roof get's about 700 to 1,000gallons of rain water per 1/2 hour. Free! Also check out craigslist in your city there always free tree clippings. You can also use grass cutting to make fast compost. Just put the compost away from your house, it can get really hot.also check out on YouTube veganathlete, just look at what his yard looks like. Just remember we get water but it'seems come in downpours, catch it , keep it! Do you have a above ground pool you never use, well a 15 foot pool can store upto 5,000 gallons, just keep it covered all the time.

I living in golden valley,AZ, we have a lot of creosote brush, can I use it for compost or is it bad for other trees and vegetables? . What about using pine needles or I can go into kingman and get grass cutting. Kingman has a golf course so I could get a ton of grass cutting.
