Okay, so you might be iced in at the moment. But it won’t be long before spring rains hit and the earth begins to warm. Here’s a way for avid and casual gardeners alike to collect that free water from the sky. Yes, it’s time you get a rain barrel. Don’t wait. It helps conserve water — no longer an elective action — and makes sense for anyone with flower beds or vegetable gardens. We like this particular 65-gallon rain barrel because even though it costs a little more than some others, it looks so good. Your neighbors won’t have anything to complain about. In sandstone or greenstone from Yardiac.
