Can you put a 55 gallon drum that has been emptied, under your down spouts
on the house and save your rain water (when you get it). Rain water is
better for your plants anyway. They can be fixed up with faucets or other
ways to get the water out when you need it.

Good luck. Dwayne


Well, sometimes...

Rain water is NOT guaranteed to be "better" for plants nowadays.

If you live downwind of any major metro area or energy generating plants
(virtually ALL the NE United States) then the acid levels in your rainwater
might be high enough to actually do plants damage.

Collect some and have it tested. That is the only way to be sure.
