I have 3 self made 3 barrels (old Olive barrels) that I use for plants and vegetables here in Ottawa. 1 composter that I'm amazed what it takes over the course of a year.
Self made because the conventional ones IMO are far too expensive.
Basically it's emptied each Fall, filled 3/4 full with leaves, then gets all my household waste for the rest of the year and I finsih up with about 1/2 bin full of compost.
If municipalities want to encourage water conservation then they need to make it more affordable for people to get involved (i.e. cover some of the cost).
If someone could figure out a device that would enable me to get the water out of the barrels under pressure so at least it would feed a sprinkler hose I'd be all over it.
