USEING WATER BARRELS !?!?

[the_whingnut]

When we can (can't living in Military housing) we use old pickle and olive barrels in tandem using the rain gutters on the house with a filter screen. then use it so water the garden on a drip hose under the mulch, water for the wife's Spiders, and as much as we can. however to keep from having to irrigate from the city water we use heavy mulch layers around our plants and hugulkulture in our planters to keep moisture in. (plus less work)

Well I only have 1 acre to deal with so it is a lot easier for me to manage.

They would complain when the sun comes up in the morning and sets at night.

Are they vampires, by any chance?

Are they vampires, by any chance?

You know Deb they very well could be, they enjoy sucking the life blood out of everything.

Good deal unclejoe ; That certainly was a find. And slow water is better than no water. I'm a poet and don't even know it ) Sorry don't know what came over me

I'm interested in doing an underground cistern to collect rainwater. We would need a pump to pump it out for watering things outside. Does anyone have any personal experience?
