Rain Barrels - Part 2

A few more tips if you are planning on adding a rain barrel to your backyard to collect water for your garden:
- Place a screen on the top of the barrel to keep out the bugs and leaves.
- Make sure to buy a corrosion resistant barrel, such as plastic or stainless steel.
- Install a spigot, so you can control how much water you use through the hose.
- Create a stand for the barrel, as the higher it is placed, the more pressure will be created for dispersion.
