rain barrels $5 each
At the Coke bottling plant on Burnet, just north of 183. These are 55
gallon plastic drums, originally containing the Coke syrup. FDA sez they can only be used once so they have a giant pile of them sitting outside. Each has 2 3/4" pipe thread fittings on it. I'm getting a bunch to use as a collection system for gardening, when it's done I'll try to post some pictures. Call the number in the phone book, and ask for "Emory". They also have a smaller barrel, maybe 45 gallons. --steve |

Just call and he does indeed have them. We'll probably buy at least ten. I am getting as addicted to rainwater collection as I am to driving around for no other reason than to collect peoples discarded leaves! My fish love the rainwater and I now have baby tetra's in my tank as a result of rainwater! Here is his direct number, given with permission: Emory: 832-2857 |

I can see uses for several of these things, and the price is definitely right. Heck, at that price, you could cut 'em in half for planters. Might not be the most attractive, but they'd be almost indestructible. DT |

It always takes a while for them to be of size to put into a pond with fish. v |

Just a guess, but since they were used for a food product I doubt the plastic has a UV protectant. Sunlight will likely make them brittle fairly quickly so it would be best to keep them out of direct sunlight. deg |
