Rain barrels are a great way to capture the fresh rain as it runs off your roof (and you’d be amazed at how quickly a 50 gallon drum fills up!).  We have three of them set up at our house and I love using them for watering our plants and rinsing my hands after digging in the dirt.

On Oct 9 and 20th, Loudoun Soil and Water will be holding workshops to put these cool water conservation tools together.
