I picked up my rain barrels today. They are beautiful and CLEAN! They are only 35 gallons though. Shrug.
They will be more manageable for me since this is my building project. I might have to make two set ups to harvest all the water I can get. The man said it once held, "catalyst" but it came in bags, that the barrels were basically clean when it was emptied. He powerwashed them. The lid is held on by a nice locking metal clamp, not the screw on kind. I like them! If this project goes easily, I will make a second set on the other side of the yard.
