 Make Your Own Rain Barrel
The Benefits
* Water Efficiency
* Use water wisely by watering your garden with free water collected from your roof.
* Rain water is great for plants.
* Connect a soaker hose to your barrel, a great way to water shallow rooted plants such as rhododendrons.
* Use your rain barrel in areas where you may not have a convenient spigot. Near your compost pile is a good idea to keep it as wet as a wrung-out sponge, promoting the composting process during the dryer months of summer.
* Rain water is usually soft and free of dissolved minerals. This untreated water is great for your indoor plants, your garden and lawn, or washing your car.
