Default Rain Barrel conversion


"Tulpa" wrote ...
Hello all drought anticipators!

I have received a very servicable agricultural feed barrel which I
shall fit a tap to. I would like to convert my gutter downpipe myself
and allow drip feeding into the barrel.

1. Am I being a skinflint when a conversion kit costs around £14.00
from B&Q?

2. If not, has anyone done this themselves and have you any tips?

I just used a bend to put the pipe into the barrel and another from the
overflow back down the drain. Probably cost as much as a conversion kit.
