Experts and weather predictors have somehow figured this out, but a rule-of-thumb is that to water a 1,000-square-foot natural grass lawn would take about 623 gallons of water to equal an inch of water.

These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they each have a different purpose. Compost is organic soil made of decomposed materials used to improve the soil's structure and add nutrients. Mulch can be organic but is available in other materials such as rubber. It's used for weed control, to maintain water retention, reduce erosion, and moderate the soil's temperature.

The rain gutters around your house direct the water off the roof and down a spout alongside the outside walls. Harvesting rainwater is collecting it at the end of the drainpipe's spout in rain barrels or redirecting it to a landscaped area.
