Building A Rain Barrel - Arlington VA Greenovation Chapter #3

Every summer we go through periods of drought in Northern Virginia. The grass starts to get a little browner and the garden starts to wilt. I never felt comfortable hooking up the hose and sprinkler as it seems like such a waste of water. This spring I started shopping for a rain barrel. Rain barrels can be placed under the a downspout to catch rainwater. Using the stored rainwater for gardening needs, saves on utility costs and can also prevent basement flooding.

This is a cool idea. I've been wanting to do one of these for a little over a year now. The british call them water butts, and there's a company that makes them shaped like butts...too funny. Google it!

That's really funny. I found a water butt: http://www.straightgarden.com/images/products/buttbuttnews.jpg. I wish I had know that was an option!
