We are at the beginning stages of making a homemade rain barrel. It will be more of a project than the one pictured here, http://www.gardenstew.com/viewtopic.php?t=16103&highlight=
as we need to re-route the downspout first. My hubs is a very capable/ creative type, so I can trust him to do it up correctly. We'd just like to see more images of home made designs. The way the current downspout drains is a problem we want to solve, not to mention saving $$$ on the water bill! Any more rain barrel project ideas? Ideas on how you did the filters? Thanks for any ideas and tips...

When I lived in New Mexico, several friends used these for their gardens (and some household use). Wish everyone was so water-wise!
