The baby and the bathwater

Here's my one little water efficiency strategy: Every night baby has a bath as part of his bedtime routine. I save the water and bucket it onto the garden the next day. At this stage we still just wash him with water, so there's no suds to worry about - the water is perfect for putting straight on the garden.

That probably saves 20L from going down the drain every day. 

(And before anyone starts thinking I'm a terrible mother - he can't even roll over yet, so it's not a hazard to leave the baby bath full of water - not yet. I guess once he's mobile I'll need to put the water on the garden right away.)
