Rain Barrel Conserve Water

The Bonnet Shores Land trust suggests residents consider buying a rain barrel (or more than one!)

They fill very quickly with any rainfall and are very useful when there are dry spells in the summer. The ones pictured here are at a BSFD resident’s home and they highly recommend them. They initially bought two from URI (the two photographed together) about 12 years ago, but one was hooked to a down spout connected to gutters that filled the barrel to overflowing most rainfalls, while the other one filled less often. So, they used part of a garden hose to connect the two shown here and bought the tan one from Home Depot (EarthMinded RainStation 45 Gal. Recycled Black Rain Barrel with Diverter RS45-RC - The Home Depot). The ones from URI do not have a functioning spout but you can remove the cover and dip in a watering container to retrieve the water. The one from HD has a faucet that works quite well. You can also put the lid on the HD one so you can add dirt and grow plants on top.
