Tropical Storm Ida is due to deliver rain for the next couple of days. With a rain barrel in place you could capture 55 gallons quickly from your roof top. Recycling the rain is a fantastic way to conserve water. Plants can tolerate even filter the pollutants that are sometimes is found in stormwater runoff. With the change in temperature our pool is evaporating water every night. Using a rain barrel to replenish pool water conserves potable (drinking) water and is delivered free with every rain event.Find out how you can install a rain barrel at you home by attending the Recycle the Rain workshop on November 19th from 6:00pm - 8:00pm at the Manatee County Extension Office.
