Water Collection

Spring is right around the corner...really I swear it is...and right now is the time to start thinking about those spring rains. With careful planning you can collect enough rain water to keep your garden green a lush through the hot summer months. Here is a great selection of ones that can connect right to your gutter downspout, and you'd be amazed at how much water you can collect and save the costs directly off your water bill. This water collector is aesthetically pleasing as well as very functional. For looks and functionality it is one of my favorites, has what I'd consider medium capacity. It could easily pay for itself in one season at the price of water/sewer bills. Want to make your own?...a simply trash can with a hole cut into the lid to insert the downspout will work just fine and you can simply fill a watering can from the top. IF you are more creative, you can visit your local hardware store for some hose parts and fashion a spigot at the bottom. Once you have used this type of system and love it, you can consider something much bigger, but that's a different post...
