Hi Pod,
I agree whole-hearted. Rain water collection is on our list. Unfortunately, the house doesn't have rain gutters, so we may be looking at a more creative way to capture the harvest from the sky.
We have a slight depression on one side of the driveway that my husband says would make for a good collection point, if lined. Then, use a sump pump to get it into an IBC. I agree, the recent weather conditions (droughts, ice storms, etc.) across our nation is quite disturbing. I think we are going to see an drastic uptick in food prices this year because of it.
If you know of any tried-and-true means of harvesting rain without gutters, I am all ears.
Thank you. Here's hoping your day blossoms with joy!
Gina.
