North Carolina is suffering from the worst drought in recorded history. While some areas are hurting more than others, no city or county is immune to the effects of the drought.

“I want to thank everyone for answering my call to save water as the drought worsened. I am asking that we continue our aggressive water conservation since we do not know what kind of weather the summer will bring. We are all in this together, and by continuing to work together we can make sure we have adequate water resources today and in the future.”
~Gov. Mike Easley

We made container gardens in whiskey barrel planters with the bottom third being pine bark which helps with moisture at the bottom. This alleviates having to water unnecessary soil for plants that do not have a deep root system.

What is your family or facility doing to save water? We'd like to know.
