    This picture is of the rain barrel my wife and I put at the top of a rock wall. About 20 shrubs and a small vegetable garden are watered from the barrel. Putting it on the top allows gravity to work in our favor. We rerouted a downspout from the roof to put more water in the barrel. That also helped a drainage issue in the backyard.

    Rain Barrel at top of rock wall uses gravity

    We put another barrel in front of the house to collect the discharge from a sump pump. More free water. We are big fans.

    Thanks,
