Default Question regarding rainfall collection

John,
I have a 300 gallon container in the back yard that I use to water
plants. I just tapped into the downspouts, and routed it into the tank.

Although I heard that Cedar Park and Home Depot were working a deal on
barrels I've not been able to confirm that with the city. On the other
hand, without rain there is not much use for a barrel :-(

I guess they could be considered yard art if decorated appropriately.

My question is what local Austin gardeners are using for rain collection
and their sources of supply for materials.

We might as well discuss it while waiting for some rain.............

So I guess no one around here does any rainfall collecting. Anyone?

I hope the recent rain helped get it filled. What kind of container is
it and where'd you get it?
