Make a rainbarrel

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

Thanks Mom for this reminder. A rain barrel is a simple and economical way to conserve. Just tap it whenever you need more water for the yard, the plants, whatever! At my house I spent a fortune re-routing the gutters into to the apple orchard, but there is still more water running than I know what to do with. the rest goes into the storm sewer. Humm. maybe I need a barrel..
