Want to do your part to save the environment and save money on your water bill every month? With Rain Barrels from Cool Garden Things that’s exactly what you can do. The concept behind a rain barrel is simple: when rain falls it collects in the 50 or 54 gallon barrel. The spout is used to keep plants watered and happy during dry spells. The included debris screen lets water in, but keeps bugs and plant matter out, ensuring clean rainwater everytime. The rain barrels can even be linked in order to expand capacity, using the included simple linking kit.
Using a rain barrel in an area where water is hard to come by is great for your water bill and the environment. Instead of letting water from your gutters fall on a small patch of grass, you can collect perfectly good water to nurish your garden. Rain barrels require very little maintainence, all you do is place it at the end of your gutter and collect water to be used at a later date. It’s surprising how quickly these barrels fill and it’s a shock to realize how much rainwater is wasted, considering how useful it can be. The money you save on your water bill each month after buying a rain barrel really adds up, the barrel actually pays for itself. Living in a dry region shouldn’t stop you from growing a wonderful, healthy garden, and with a rain barrel you no longer have to break the bank or feel guilty about using gallon after gallon of city water.
Using rainwater on your garden has superb benefits for the environment. Plants don’t need filtered tap or city water to thrive, in fact they prefer natural rainwater as is. Depending on your garden and yard size, a good amount of that goes to watering plants and even the lawn when perfectly good rainwater would do the job just fine, if not better. In fact Gardenguides.com states that “City water usually has chlorine in it, which is harmful to plants… rainwater is healthier for plants because it is relatively free of impurities and hard water minerals.” Every aspect of the rain barrel makes it an appealing idea and an obvious choice for those who love both their garden and helping the earth.
While watering the garden is the primary use of the rain barrel, it definitely isn’t the only one. Rain barrels can replace your outdoor hose, rainwater can be used for washing the car, cleaning the house or anything else that requires water outdoors.
Rain barrels have been used for centuries. They are simple and effective, rain barrels do all the work for you have to do is aim the hose and let ‘er rip. Order your rain barrel today and receive free shipping straight to your doorstep!
