Managed to save 2 trashcans full from our recent welcome rains.

Plan to use them for potted plants, indoor & out. They are SO much

Water may last quite a while. Should I chlorinate it to avoid --what?

If yes, how much bleach per 32 gal trash can?

Why go to the trouble of collecting clean water, that you claim is
better for your plants, to then pollute it? What do you imagine might
grow in it that would harm your plants? To repel mossies hang socks
around the rim of the tubs.

:-)) I once saw a question in a newsgroup from someone who asked whether
he could drink rainwater. You can imagine how that made me roll around
laughing.
