I am starting a garden on May 1st, when I arrive to my new place on Salt Spring Island. I have recently read Food not Lawns... and well, it was wonderful. We are all ready putting a bunch of her ideas to task. Anyway... What I really need is some guidance through this: We are hoping to build a shower outside utilyzing rain water then we want to use that gray water to water the garden. We are on a hill, so I guess I need to learn about diverting water. What is the best way to do this. In the book, she discribes using a river and lake system through the garden, but what should one use to pool the water? how do you move it around in rivers? Should we be worried about Mosquitos?

Thanks for your advice
