Jamespm nice looking garden! How often would you have to water, other than depending on how dry and how much rain you get, just curious

Just read in Backwoods home magazine on the subject, just wondering if anybody here has done it, seems it would be easier, what is your opinion? thanks!

Well, so much for the rain barrell use this year, I took them down, we are 9 inches above normal in rainfall and the creeks and rivers are all out! THis time of year the grass should be browning and crunchy to walk on, but every morning heavy dew is present. Last year nearly the same, oh well...

LOVE the leaf design! THat is very creative! I also like how your spigot is located on the bottom of the barrel! On a side note, we are having above average rain here in MO so far this year, same as last year!

Hey! That is exactly like mine!:thumbsup I really like mine and think you will like them too! If you decide you want to paint yours, or any other plastic barrell, I used a spray paint called KRYLON Fusion for plastic. It adheres really well, i did however get mine blown down the field during a...

I have 3 rain barrels at 4 of my houses downspouts, I bought mine from Orschelins farm and home and they are recycled 50 gal barrels from Greece that had olives shipped in them, this is near the same way mine are done, mine are down for the winter now, but during the summer I never ran out of...

Thanks for the inputs! I think over the christmas break I'll go ahead and pull them out and fill with dirt. Again thanks a lot! chris in MO.

3-4 years ago I bought and planted several Ash and Maple trees. I was told it would be a good idea to put a 2 foot tall 4 inch in diameter vertical pvc pipe next to the tree root bulb when planted, this would allow me put water down to the base of the bulb. The trees did fine and now I am...
