If we can do it here in this area, I think most anyone else can certainly add to there water security with just a few simple steps.

Rainwater collection system ● free water

Published on Jun 27, 2014

Water your garden for free using rainwater you’ve harvested from the clouds. Your plants and vegetables love rainwater. And the good part is it doesn’t cost a cent! At times there is an endless supply of fresh clean rainwater to harvest and with the right rain barrel harvesting set-up it can be very easy to use. A few ergonomic ball valves on the barrels makes filling watering jugs with rainwater a breeze. Reduce your water bill and only use rainwater you’ve harvested from the clouds for your vegetables and plants. Make sure you watch how I made my “first flush” in the first barrel.
