Thank you for posting. Please keep us updated. I want info on the hydropower. I live in the Caribbean & I hate to see all that power run down the street! God bless.

Micah, We got our container locally from a guy that was advertising on Craig’s List. They were food grade and had been used previously for storing some kind of sweetener.

I was noticeing you can get used containers on the net some starting as low as 50 and going up from there some come with metal cages which would be good for those cold enviroments.The used ones I looked at just had liquied soap in it clean it out and its good to go for garden needs.

Very inspiring indeed! I just finished watering my garden (which is small right now with lettuces and such) for the 3rd day in a row from my 40 gallon rain barrel. The rain barrel is empty now but it’s supposed to rain this afternoon. Your system will last so much longer. Hmmmmm…..

Awesome!!! Very inspiring! I’ve been wanting to do some rain collection here to water our garden also. We are blessed to be in a place with an abundance of rain.

Sound so exciting! Very clever. It’s always nice to see S’s projects with wood. {the link to Amazon has a part – linking to your blog – you may want to clear}
