Need to feed fish and a couple other fish room chores. Then it looks like I will be spending some time outdoors. Bright and sunny and about 55 out there now. Got my water barrel set up yesterday and it rained a little. Well just misted heavy, but I should have a little rainwater already.
..how big is your rain barrel?....I've been thinking about putting one out back.....wood/plastic?
It is a plastic one 50 gallons. You can cut the gutter and drain it into the barrel but I didn't want to cut the gutter. I bought a kit that taps into the gutter downspout. Never ran out of rainwater last year, but I only have a couple 10s and a 20 on rainwater. Have a couple cories that the eggs don't hatch in my hard well water. Biggest problem so far is getting the water from the barrel into the house. I use 2-1/2 gallon plastic jugs but it is a pain.

...try a small transfer pump and a hose ?....that's what I'll do....and likely get a same size barrel to store in the basement.....an inline sediment filter would have it ready to use...
..What a beautiful day !!! it' absolutely gorgeous out there...... |^|
,,,gonna sleep good tonight ;)..we've been out almost all day.....yard trash picked up....and Sassy's mine field has been cleared...LOL
No place to get into the basement where I put the barrel. I am thinking of getting another one on a corner near a window and rigging up some sort of a hose system. Just thinking for now.
I started to finish cleaning up the yard and then just gave up and sat on the patio and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Sure is great.
