I live in Texas and contrary to what many people believe I do think global warming is here and will become more obvious as we move forward.
This is one of the hottest Summers I can remember on record. We have been in the hundreds since June popped up on the calender. Rain has been scarce, and my yard is parched and looking crunchy.
So, how do we adjust to this new reality? I am researching rain barrels to install in my backyard. Looking online at Amazon and other places I see roughly 50 gallon barrels for $120 to $200. That seems really pricy to me for a large bucket I want to keep water in. So digging around on you tube I found this video on how to build your own with nothing more than a trashcan. Which started me thinking about what trash can and how much it will cost. I am going to make my own video and do a full set up to show people how it can be done for less than $75. Anyway, this is great information if you are looking for a cheap rain barrel to water your yard. Here is the video.
