Hmm, what alternatives to rain barrels are there?
Even a modest-sized, well-constructed rain garden can handle much more water than a rain barrel or two, in general. Plus you get lovely foliage and flowers, and provide habitat to the other creatures that share the planet with us. These pages are about rain barrels, so we encourage you to browse around the Internet and contact local organizations for more information on rain gardens. Consider adding one to your yard. You’ll create beauty, support biodiversity, and increase your property’s value. You might get some sore muscles creating the garden, but think of the good karma you’ll be building up. Can’t have too much of that, eh?
