...even if I do say so myself. The sump pump is no longer running continuously, but it is still running, and I'm astonished by how much water must still be saturating the earth around my foundation! Today I moved the lighter half of my houseplants outside, and since I didn't water them before I moved them, they were pretty dry. I was just going to water them when I realized my garden hose is not hooked up to the spigot, but to the sump pump.
So after a moment of thought, I put the hose in a bucket, and emptied it into my houseplants when it filled. It took three hours and three buckets to get them all, but I was pretty happy. No wasted water, no wasted electricity, and happy plants.
Now to get the mulch down before the idiot landscapers mow down another lavender or daylily.
