We went for our usual walk and happened upon this barrel on the side of the road. It's a 55 gallon barrel that has been cut in half. We asked the lady whose house it was in front of if we could have it and she said yes. So, Mr. Right carried the thing about half a mile back to our house.
A container this big would normally cost a lot of money so we were happy to get it for free!
We decided to use it to collect rain water. We collected a whole barrel full in one day! We look forward to learning more about collecting rain water and hopefully watering our garden this way as much as possible.
We haven't watered anything with it yet because the ground is still so wet from the rain. However, Ranger loves it and thinks it's so much better than the tap water we fill his bowl with. Smart dog!
