Saving “Rain”
by admin on Jul.18, 2013, under Shop@RoseCottage
This year in Central North Carolina hasn’t had the drought conditions of the past five or six. Rain came – in some places too much too fast – right at the first official week of Summer 2013. But in the last week at my location there has been none and we still have to get through August and September…
A good way to take advantage of the water Mother Nature provides is with a rain barrel. As you can see here, you aren’t stuck with some industrial-appearing 55 gallon drum either.
Crafted for extra strength and durability, the Algreen Sandalwood Cascata Rain Water Barrel is sure to provide you with efficient and long lasting functionality. This collection of rain barrels not only aid in preserving the environment, but also efficiently help in water conservation. They let you do your bit for the environment, while ensuring your backyard or garden function efficiently and look great.
The smartly designed Koolscapes 75 Gallon Sandstone Rain Barrel combines the contemporary aesthetic of authentic stone with the enduring longevity of resin. The Koolscapes 75 Gallon Sandstone Rain Barrel is ready to go. It comes with all that you need to start conserving water, preserving the environment and the size of your wallet. The rain barrel construction is UV protected, made to withstand harsh temperatures, at either extreme. This is an investment that pays off.
Dimensions: 46”H x 23.5”D
The Rain Wizard Urn is a thing of beauty and clever design. Constructed with thick and durable polyethylene resin which holds up to the harshest elements, the exterior has the appearance of a terra cotta urn. The graceful lines, curves, and garnishes on the exterior make it an accent peace on your home’s exterior and not something that just sticks to your house. The flat back design optimizes space used and allows you to position the barrel close to walls or flat areas. The top is the only of its kind that not only acts as a planter space, but also features a unique watering system that leeches excess water from the barrel itself.

Some municipalities are (in my opinion) gouging people on water. Prices are ridiculously high – forcing customers to curtail yard and garden activities because of the constant fear of the darned water bill. At least with a rain barrel you can have water for your plants and if you use it right – enough to help wash your car. Until ever-reaching local governments put a tax on personally-owned rain barrels, this is a way to help the environment and save a bit of cash.
