Then as I wash the dishes to rinse them I slowly run water over them into the same pan. Turning off the water between groups of dishes. Then set the dishes in the drainer to dry. There are only the two of us now at home and not that many dishes. When that water is done being used for this and wiping the counters etc or whatever other jobs...the water is taken then outside to water something. I used to use a wash and a rinse pan and take 2 outside but find I use less water now doing the one pan method. It still is not too full to carry it. The water can also be used to flush toilets.

I am from the first generation of city kids, born of farmers and hill people looking for an easier life. Little did they know that almost all of us would return to the land. I love growing and providing for my family outta my little patch of earth. <br /><br />Thanks for the read.<br /><br />Knowledge is power, only if you use it.Granny Teranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-87668607291136047562007-06-24T20:44:00.000+10:002007-06-24T20:44:00.000+10:00Yes Rhonda, I'm across the ditch! :>)Yes Rhonda, I'm across the ditch! :>)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-74370665178347480192007-06-24T05:36:00.000+10:002007-06-24T05:36:00.000+10:00thank you Maggie.

I stopped knitting them a while back as I was disappointed that they only seemed to last a few days before they went tatty, grubby & faded out. I'll get knitting again and try your Napisan soak method. Your blog is always an inspiration and a joy to read! :>)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-58618701960100666162007-06-23T10:37:00.000+10:002007-06-23T10:37:00.000+10:00HA! there are people out there! ; )Welcome Lyn.

Medium shades work best as the color doesn't fade as noticibly as dark colors and they don't get as dirty looking as light colors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
