Actually alfalfa is a commonly misunderstood crop, it helps feed much of the world and is not wasteful...

Plus, Alfalfa is excellent at putting nutrients back in the soil

It's difficult to use the sponge and bucket here in AZ because we have such a dry climate the water evaporates very quickly. Even in the winter months..... so we end up using more water continuously keeping the car wet.

I bought that Mr. Clean Autowash system that says you won't have to towel dry your car and I end up using even less water with that thing

Just drive your car into one of the canals. It's a little awkward trying to get it out, but it will stay wet while it's in there.
