XP: Anyone use rain barrels?
in Green Living
We're looking into buying some this weekend at our local home show - they claim they could save us all sorts of $$$$$ in caring for our lawn and garden.
Anyone use them that can vouch for them?

Re: XP: Anyone use rain barrels?
I actually work for a program where we help people make their own for free. We get the barrels donated from Coca-Cola. I have 3 linked together and they're great! Even in the worst summer drought I don't run out of water for my garden.

Elvie, do you have information that you can share? We're building our home and we thought about this for watering our lawn.
We got one last summer. I'm glad we did but I don't know that it really saved us a significant amount of money. We used it to water the flower gardens and that's pretty much it. I can't imagine how we would water the lawn with it unless we got some sort of adaptor that increased flow so we could hook it up to a sprinler (and is that sort of thing even available???).
Tired after a long morning of hiking and swimming.
I posted a link up above for anyone who's interested in making one.
Also, I have a small submersible pump I use with mine. MUCH faster watering and we used it to water our new sod when we put it in.
