Rain Barrels



Two years ago, we added rain barrels to our downspouts.  One is located at the front of the house and one in the back.  They are simply 50 gal drums purchased from a man who worked at a juice concentrate company.  We added a spiggot and cut off the top, replaced with screening (use metal rim or industrial size rubber band to secure), to keep fly eggs and debris out.  These drums assisted in nourishing our garden several times throughout the summer months.
