I agree Alee. What really worried me is that years ago she had cancer. I can't help but wonder what impact that garden carpet had on her body. Yuck! After all, don't we plant gardens to help our body be healthier!
Hey Alee, That was a good link on how to make a rain barrel.
Has anyone tried using a plastic trash can? I am also wondering just how safe it would be. With plastics being looked at differently nowdays, would heavier plastic such as food storage barrels be safer than a plastic trash can? After all, the hot summer sun can really heat up that water. I am not sure if both are made from the same grade plastic.
I also want to know if screen across the top of the barrel keeps out the grit from the shingles. What gauge of screen have you used?
Success!!!! First Rain Barrell in Place!!!!
