So I bought some second hand 55 gallon plastic barrels for rain water collection a week ago or so. I had some time after work to cut in the downspout diverters today, and holy titballs do those barrels fill up quickly. I have 2 right now and I will probably get another 2-4 and connect them in parallel to really maximize the run off of my roof. I’m shocked at how quickly they fill up.
Edit: my original intent on buying them was to still keep my gardens watered if and when water restrictions kick in, and if there aren’t restrictions, well yay free water.
