birds sit on roofs and crap. rain water will bring all the parasites in
the crap
down into the pond. use the rain water to water plants instead ..
especially orchids

My first phase plan is to create a system to water the herb garden, and then
a second to water the vegetable garden. I have put together a spreadsheet to
calculate potential gathering capability, and can see this being a great
source of water. I've even found some pages for people that use it for their
house water. I don't want to go that far, but if these numbers are right,
it'd be a great source of water for the garden and the pond.
