FYI: DIY Rain Barrels

I noticed a few posts on rain barrels recently, and wanted to let you know that there's an article in the current issue of Family Handyman Magazine (available at Lowes) about how to make your own rain barrels for a fraction of the cost of buying them. 

I looked on line to see if I could find the article through their website, but it's not there. 

It looks pretty easy to set up, and is worth checking out before you buy one.  Just thought you would be interested!

Re: FYI: DIY Rain Barrels

  • our local permaculture guild has classes on how to build them.  you can also check with your county extension office.
  • There are a lot of articles on how to just make one yourself and it does seem pretty easy. However, my problem is where to get the food-grade barrels to use. Most places won't just give you one, even if I found a place that had them
