An Alternative to the Rain Barrel

My house is a good 50 yards from my garden, so placing a Rain Barrel under my eavestrough doesn't really work for me - but that doesn't mean I can't use the rain water from my roof to water my garden - and maybe enjoy the many pleasures of keeping a goldfish pond at the same time...

[@marymcandrew7667]

What a fantastic idea!! I'm already thinking about where and how I can use it around my house and garden. We get lots of rain in the Scottish Borders, I'm thinking if the container or pool gets full, just slip the water jug off the spout and wait until you need it again! Brilliant! My house is lower than the garden but we have a stone barn that needs new gutters, I'll do it on that. Worth mentioning, here in the UK lots of old houses have iron gutters and downpipes, I worried about how I could get a rainbarrel under one without hiring someone. The plastic bottle solves that!

[@maritimegardening4887]

That's a great point - iron gutters aren't so easy to modify :)

[@patriciascott4211]

Just what I needed to see! I rent a duplex with a downspout. I have a large yard and I bought a rain barrel. Unfortunately I got it right at the end of the huge rain season. We still get rain but not much. Because I’m a renter I don’t want to install an extender or anything. This is perfect. I can just put the other end of the hose in the rain barrel. Thanks!

[@Connor-tv5gu]

You should consider installing a solar water pump! Edible Acres’ most recent video shows how to do it really easily and for cheap. He slowly pumps the water up to a reservoir/ feeding bin that is easy to dip a can into. Hope this helps!

I did this some years ago. I also piped the water from the sump pump pit into the same small pond. The water draws all types of wildlife. The outflow from the small pond provides a habitat for wet soil type plants. Good idea.

[@orionlottering7349]

Love it. I use 2li pop bottles to let rainwater from the gutter into my water gathering drums. Very crude. Someday I will make something sophisticated like you. I also pick up thrown away hoses... mostly to someday water a bed with it or distribute water through my garden.

[@knexus5039]

Great idea. People just need to be aware of that run off on the roof does include roofing material (eg the shingle particles)as well as whatever gunk has been collecting up there prior to the rain feeling it a general washing off. Other than that it's a great idea to somehow figure out a way to use that water for your yard or garden without necessarily investing in a rain barrel system Also not just your pond water, but people's home aquariums with their goldfish inside the house , is also good for watering plants. So in my case since I pretty much have to change out several gallons every week for the aquarium I just use that to water my plants instead of dumping it down the drain.

[@michaellippmann4474]

Well that is pretty cool Greg! My garden is slightly uphill from my house...but...I collect rain water from my garden shed and a workshop I have beside the garden. I much prefer to use my collected rainwater to water with. I too have a well but being cheap I try not to use it for watering because it does use electricity which does cost. Plus you are right rain water is better. We had our first real good spring rain a few days ago and again last night so the garden will be happy about that! Have a great day and pretty clever Idea!

I agree Marion. If this KZbinr is willing to run a hose from the house to the garden, why not hook it to a rain barrel with a turn on/off faucet attachment? So much more convenient.

[@nmnate]

Sorry to be a negative Nancy...but there's no way a hose that small can support enough volumetric flow rate when you get a decent rainstorm. My rain barrel overflows are size at 2" in diameter for a good reason. I would just suggest connecting something larger in diameter (like trenching a PVC pipe). FWIW if you have enough height difference on your property, you can use gravity to drain a rain barrel with a 100' hose, probably a lot more if you have a 1" or larger hose diameter. However, you are right that they're not convenient for larger yards 👍

[@maritimegardening4887]

A decent rainstorm may cause it to overflow - which is fine. I'm not digging a 50 yard across my lawn to lay PVC pipe :)

If you care about your fish, then give them a place with some thermal mass (that big rock might do) to protect them from sudden temperature changes if you get a lot of rain water flowing into the pond. We just got a heavy rain, about 4 inches overnight, and something about it killed half the catfish in my pond, I think it was the sudden temperature change. The goldfish in my rain barrels will go into shock from the cold water flowing in and then they can be washed out of the rain barrel, but I put in some large stones in the bottom for them to go under and that saves them from this happening.
