Rain Barrels – Building and Buying
A rain barrel is an excellent way to collect water in times of drought.
Just a thousand feet of roof area can collect 625 gallons of water in a one inch rain.
You can either build or buy a rain barrel. Either way, you’ll be glad you have one when the soil is dry and water restrictions are in force!
