Tips for Rain Barrels

Place your rain barrel under a downspout to collect rainwater for your garden. Regularly check for debris and clean out the barrel to prevent clogs. Use a soaker hose to water your plants with collected rainwater, as it is free of chlorine and other chemicals found in tap water. Add a mosquito dunk to the barrel to prevent mosquito larvae from breeding. Position your rain barrel on a level surface to ensure proper drainage.
