Build Your Own Rain Barrel

A photo of a rain barrel with a large flower painted on the side.

A rain barrel is a great way to manage water on your property and give you a natural source for watering your garden. You can buy one that’s fully made, but as Tom Butzler from Penn State Extension shows us, you can make your own to help manage stormwater and save water to cut down on your watering bill, especially in times of drought.
