BelovedSpear<p>When your municipal water supply is compromised, a rain barrel suddenly becomes a very handy thing to have around. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rainbarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rainbarrel</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/storm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>storm</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/watersupply" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watersupply</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/emergencypreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emergencypreparedness</span></a></p><p><a href="https://buff.ly/3TWbq9E" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/3TWbq9E</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
smallsolar<p>Status update, currently pumping water from my kids paddling pool to a nearby <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/rainbarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rainbarrel</span></a> - I like the tinkling water. Don’t worry I’m using a electric pump and a battery which has been charged with <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solar</span></a></p><p>Time to fill the watering cans as well</p>

Art(ificer), they/them<p>Finally installed my rain barrel! (Many thanks to my partner for painting it.) Not gonna get a tonne out of it just because of my region, but every bit counts! Now to convince my landlord to let us set up a greywater system... 😅🤔</p><p><a href="https://kind.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/permaculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permaculture</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/RainBarrels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RainBarrels</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/rainbarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rainbarrel</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://kind.social/tags/waterwise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>waterwise</span></a></p>
Mike McCaffrey :pdx_badge:<p>Welp, one single storm and the <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/rainBarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rainBarrel</span></a> is already full. Let's hope <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/portland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>portland</span></a> gets some more warm weather, so I get to use some of this water instead of it just hanging around until next spring.</p>
Kevin Freitas<p>There’s nothing like watering the veggie garden in late July with rain water stored since June. I told my son it’s like a water battery. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gardening</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EatYourYard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EatYourYard</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RainBarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RainBarrel</span></a></p>
Ross<p>Finally supposed to get some rain today! </p><p>During a deluge of rain a couple of weeks ago, our rain-barrel was quickly full and overflowing, but now has been depleted in various yard uses.</p><p>I can see how this quickly drives one into rain-barrel creep, and suddenly you find yourself with eleven rain barrels, stock-piling rainwater successfully, but unable to use your driveway.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.energy/tags/rain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rain</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.energy/tags/rainBarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rainBarrel</span></a></p>
Marie Kung<p>Yay! The <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RainBarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RainBarrel</span></a> held up overnight. Picture 1 is at about ten gallons from being under one garage downspout. By comparison, Picture 2 is from a freestanding can showing less than an inch of rainfall. After today's rain, I should have a good starting water reserve. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>
Marie Kung<p>Only got one DIY <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/RainBarrel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RainBarrel</span></a> figured out today. Found a random rooted section from the Bartlett pear tree and planted it just because. Of course a buried metal cart just had to be in the spot I chose. Luckily, was able to slide over a bit. <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Zone5b" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zone5b</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NorthernIllinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernIllinois</span></a></p>
