So last week I went on craigslist and found a number of people that sell those barrels that once contained vinegar or some other non-toxic liquid. I contacted a person, locally, that sells the big blue plastic ones and the metal ones. So I bought two (a plastic one and a metal one) for $45. Now, I just need to buy some metal mesh, a spigot, etc. and look at the tutorial of the few steps to get it done.
Well this morning, it was raining like crazy and my first thought was: "oh!, if I only had that barrel ready, it would have probably filled up, or maybe even half way." But, oh well!...there will be other rainy days. Hopefully I get it done this weekend.
Until then, have a great day!
What I saw on the internet.....with the rain tube on top for a gutter...but we don't have gutters, so we'll use a spigot at the bottom.

Our kind neighbor came over to install saw the lid off and attach the spigot. It'll soon replace the large bathtub for a sifted compost container... |
Now, I'm looking forward to the next rainy day...lol |
That's yours truly making sure it works after putting some water in it. And it does....yay! I'm so excited!!
