Harbor Freight has several types of submersible water pumps for the kind of thing I'm thinking about as far as using gray water. And you can get "dirty water" pumps, a good idea with particles from rinsing. There are a couple that take regular hose attachments, others use tubing. Simply collecting rinse water in a bucket in the kitchen sink would add a fair amount of water to my little garden outside that window.
I have trichogramma wasps out there, and I'll put out another batch this weekend. Still plenty of pests, though. Started spotting a fewe mealybugs this week. The wasps should take care of them, but this probably means the garden is stressed. Need to put out more mulch and do another fertilizing.
