Raised beds, watering system & pavers are finished

[chrissum]

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 water w/these 3 barrels and they fill up really fast!

i just emailed this to my dh and am thinking we could use it to fill pool level... when it goes down too!

i want this for my garden but if i "hook" it to pool TOO ...... it could save us lots of water!

thanks!

The best way to save water with your pool is to do what i did this year...tear down pool and put in more garden!

I just updated my original post on page one of this post to include a link to my blog, you can download instructions for building this rain water collection system.
