Harnessing Creek Water for the Garden
One way to water the garden by utilizing the creek water is to harness it. Our first AD couple Brahma Putra and Shantimayii's great team work gets it all done .

Brahma Putra glues water pipes together. Glues more pipes.
>>
>>
He inspects the shut-off valve. Then connects pipes to shut-off valve.
>>
Shantimayii and Brahma Putra remove old pipes and replaces it with new white pipes.
Weeding the garden.
Now that we have the water from the creek to water the garden... we can also use it to remove weeds.
Step 1. Arm yourself with garden gloves, shovel, boots or rubber shoes, hat and good ol' overalls.
Step 2. Find the biggest weed and drain it with water all around.
Step 3. Dig in deep to get the roots of the weed and pull !!!
Step 4. Repeat Step 2 and 3 until all weeds are gone.
