Rain Barrels and the city garden

Lowe's put up this cool little video on Rain Barrels and your city garden. I thought others might enjoy.


Excerpt:

Locating the Rain Barrels

To start, choose a location for the barrels. It should be under a downspout in an unobtrusive area, like the backyard. Select a spot that’s level and a little higher than your yard. If you can’t do that, level the ground and position concrete blocks to elevate the barrels. The barrels will have to be high enough to allow you access with a watering can. If needed, you can also attach a small garden hose to the rain barrel spigot to easily fill your watering can.
