I harvest rain water for watering my garden and washing my car, water from my washing machine is used for washing the floors and drains, I compost all my fruit and vegetable peelings as well as dead leaves and grass cuttings. I use vinegar and sodium bicarbonate with water to clean a lot of things instead of buying especially fragrant bottled cleansers for different places in the house. I use screw pine leaves from my garden for all my drawers and cupboards as they deter insects and leave a very natural smell.
