Build a Rain Barrel
You can use a rain barrel to capture rainwater from the roof of your house or shed. It’s an affordable energy efficiency project that anyone can accomplish. Your garden will benefit and so will your water bill once the rain has stopped. Learn how to build your own and where to get materials locally at a free library program.
