This is a cheap rain water collecting system was all made with scraps 2 barrels was free 2 i paid 5 bucks each. The trash can is a heavy commercial model with a hole drilled near the bottom and a used shut off and a garden hose. the downspout from a roof flows into the trash can and a garden hose goes to the barrels. Its not nice looking but it works. Attachments:      |

Wow! You're right. It ain't purty, but who cares. It works. I have buckets all over my patio to catch every drop that I can get. One big problem! It never rains!! |

That's great! I'm trying to do the same basic thing but boy howdy are barrels expensive around here!!! Cost more to save water than to buy it! Like buying compost etc. |
