There may be new uses for spaces and places that we have grown accustomed to during these trying times of financial crisis. Folks that might have bought a book last year may not be able to justify the expense this year. But a rain barrel is hard to argue against, especially when we remember that last summer we experienced drought here in Columbus Ohio.
I will be curious to see what these folks name their business. It is less than 3 blocks away from our rain barrel business. We added a water usage chart to our web site (got rain?). We also began using rain water to fill our washing machine. Check out how many gallons of precious water you can save by adding rain water into your economic equation. Each gallon you save will save you money!
Be sure to find rain barrels which offer a mesh mosquito guard, and also look for barrels which have an overflow valve function to allow the excess water to flow out of the rain barrel and away from your foundation. Hooking a drip hose to this valve is a great way to give your garden or flower bed a constant source of moisture.
