Do you have nozzles on the bottom of the barrels or how do you get the water out? I priced one at Sam's Club, but I am betting I can make my own for a whole lot less if I can figure out how to do it.Yes we have a rain barrel - actually 2. They are just very large drums and they collect rain. The eaves run off into the barrels each time it rains. We use this water to water our flowers and veggie garden.
Orange juice often comes as a concentrate in 205litre - 44gallon imp-55gallon US, drums. Yes the US gallon is smaller than the English imperial. But the drum is the same size.Has anyone ever made a rain barrel? I have been trying to catch rain in a few buckets that I keep near the garden, but if I don't use the water soon enough the mosquitoes find it. I was thinking of building a rain barrel, but I'm not sure where to begin.
