Wildsight is taking names of people who would like to purchase rain barrels. If they achieve the magic number of 200, the barrels will be available for $50.00 – a great deal. The company that has offered to supply the barrels at such a great price is http://www.norsemanenviro.com/.
Please let Liam know at 250.427.2535 (Wildsight office) or liam@wildsight.ca if you are interested.
An alternative for acquiring a great rain barrel is to enter to win the Wildsight garden photo contest. Details below.
Having a rain barrel is great way to collect water that usually flows off the roof and into the storm sewer. This water is soft and untreated, perfect for garden use. When the barrel is raised on a platform, it is easy to fill a watering can or hook up a soaker hose. In Bermuda, rainwater was for many years, the only supply of water. It was collected in large cisterns. It is not unusual in Europe these days to see similar large rainwater cisterns being installed under new buildings as a method for collecting and augmenting the water supply.
A rain barrel is just the beginning!
