HOW TO CREATE RAIN BARRELS FOR YOUR GARDEN
Family Features
Gardeners typically understand plenty of water, good
ground and a steady stream of sunshine all play vital
roles in the food production process.
However, on those hot, dry days when there isn’t any rain in
sight, harvesting rain and storing it may be a perfect solution. A
tried-and-true gadget like a rain barrel allows for the collection
of rainwater from a home’s gutter system for later use.
Not only are rain barrels budget-friendly and good for the
environment, they’re also good for your plants and crops. Rainwater
is chemical-free, non-chlorinated, naturally soft, oxygen
rich and warmer than water coming from the hose or sprinkler.
That means fl owers, trees, vegetables and shrubs may be more
vibrant and hearty when irrigated with rainwater.
The nuts and bolts of making a rain barrel are simple. All it
takes are three holes cut into a 55-gallon barrel and a few supplies
from the hardware store:
1) A small hole is cut into the side of the barrel, just 2 1/2 inches
from the bottom. A brass adapter is then inserted so a hose
can be attached for easy watering.
2) The second hole allows excess water to drain away if the
barrel gets too full. It is made approximately 4 inches from the
top of the barrel, directly above the hose adapter.
3) Drill a large hole into the top 2 inches from the side of the
barrel. This hole must align with a downspout in your home’s
guttering system. It is often fi tted with a screen to fi lter out
sticks, leaves and other debris.
Instead of a rain barrel, create a simple collection system by
placing any recycled, water-tight container directly under a
downspout. Buckets, trash cans and large pots make for easy
collection containers.
