two large barrels sitting next to each other in the grass near a wooden structure with signs on it

the rain water for the garden

Home With Foxx on Instagram: "My DIY Rain barrel is doing just fine, although we haven’t had lots of rain lately! - so far I’ve tested my water no mosquitos/ no algae, that could be because I use the water frequently so it’s not lots of water sitting for weeks at a time! . The lid is pretty secure you can add river rocks to it as well for extra security. . Of course I wouldn’t just drink from this rain barrel without treating and filtering the water, buts it’s perfect for the garden! You…
