Water is one of the most important resources on the planet. Even though there is still a lot of it, it will cost you money. Life is not possible for us if water isn’t available and in the future we will probably suffer from the lack of it. You can find it in rivers, lakes, rain or ravines. If you do gardening, you will need plenty of water, so a rain barrel makes sense. Rain barrels are just that. Barrels that catch the rain. When there is heavy rain, the water will gather in rain barrels and you can use it at a later date.

If the region where you’re living has a lot of droughts, in many cases they will be followed by large quantities of rainfall, which you can take advantage of to collect water in your rain barrels. Buy two barrels of 55 gallons each from a local store and put them on the edge/corner of the house, where the water will usually fall from the roof. Once those barrels fill up, you can do whatever you want with that water. You can water the garden or the lawn for example, or you can filter it and drink it later. There are plenty of options you can take advantage of when you have free water at your disposal.

They are even more helpful if the city where you live only lets you use a limited quantity of the water for gardening purposes. With just a few vegetable seeds and some rain water, you can start a vegetable garden that will supplement your diet with delicious, organic foods, that cost you nothing. This is an easy and cheap way to go green and spend less money at the same time. Trust me, gardening uses a lot of water, so rain barrels make a lot of sense.
