Charlie, you are not going to believe this, but here in Aus, they are used
as a fertiliser. And it is called (wait for it) 'Charlie Carp':

Do like the Native Americans showed the pilgrims. Plant fish along with
the seeds in the corn field. :-)

That came to no good:-( I think given a second chance, they would have
kept their mouths shut.

Why would food grade drums be necessary for catching rain water

ordinary plastic trash can be suitable?

You can buy low quality for like $10-$15 but they will decay from UV
exposure and probably crack from freezing temps.

I have two of these, excellent quality: ?http://tinyurl.com/79bqf

We use those barrels to catch potable water at our cabins. If you set
them so the first rain of the season doesn't go into the ?barrel, the
dust gets washed off roof.

A plastic garbage can degrades from UV a lot faster than a poly drum.

I don't know that's true... like I said, perhaps the cheap ones but my
Rubbermaid trash cans have been out in all sorts of weather for five
years now and show no signs of deterioration.... and just there you
claim to be using the very same trash cans to catch water off your
roof for drinking (potable).

And you have to pay for a garbage can.
We get our poly drums for free.

You're lucky to have a free source, most folks have to pay... because
such items that are made so well that they're reusable aren't
typically free for the taking... and food stores pay a hefty deposit
on those containers so they are not in the habit of giving them away,
maybe you glom/appropriate yours.

I'd be very wary of any claims from someone who warns that water
collection vessels for irrigating the lawn need to be food grade and
then totally ignores the question.

You can pull your head out of your backside now Shelly. So what
was that thing about Christians, and why is it an unfortunate name?

Hey now, be nice! :-) I've seen pics of Sheldon's gardens and produce.
And he is a cat lover. g His garden produce is gorgeous.

OK, though it pains me. Shelly, you can re-insert your head if it
makes you feel better, but I'm still curious about why Christian
is an unfortunate name.

And I'll bet it's REALLY green! :-)

You got that absolutely right. A genuine "green" green.

On the more serious side, I have to flush it with water to have the effect I
want to keep things going green in low rain times. I generally take a bath,
flush the toilet a few times consecutively, run the dishwasher, and run the
washer closely together on those days.

I generally use Xtra or Trend (both cheap) liquid washing detergents. I DO
NOT use any liquid bleach that goes to the septic tank. I use liquid bleach
and water in a 5 gallon plastic bucket to bleach whites. Pour the liquid on
the gravel driveway, rinse the clothing, pour the rinse water in same
location, then wash clothing. The wastewater in the gravel driveway has
neutral effect on foliage that likes to grow there. Generally soak whites
for 24 hours or more in bleach/water, less bleach needed. Have not used any
bacteria additives to date for the septic tank. For novices, the common way
to "start" a septic tank is with yeast from the grocery store. After that,
just maintain it with adequate waste and water.

I remember having a septic tank both in the house in Colorado and in
Georgetown when we were renting. The grass over the leach lines was
always very green, and we had to be OH so careful what we put down the
drains.

The tank flora products were only used if we had to have the tank pumped
for whatever reason.
