Going Green With Rain Barrels
Now that spring has finally arrived we look forward to the warm rays of the sun to warm us on the days when a chill slowly blows from the cold and still ice-covered lakes and ponds.
Though it may officially be spring there are days when you feel the chill when the sun sets at the end of a beautiful day.
Those type of days are usually enjoyed around a warm fire with a cup of hot chocolate and possibly some marshmallows.
The days get longer and makes for more enjoyable time with family and friends.
Spring is a time when we begin the planning of flower gardens and lawn ornaments to beautify our yards and to have the lawn chairs and picnic tables cleaned and painted if needed.
The leaves raked to maintain some semblance of order with the arrival of the new season.
The rain gutters cleaned to keep the rain water in its place to prevent any type of back flow to the foundation of a home.
It is an exciting and anticipating time of season as we look forward to the blooming and beautiful flowers to arise when they were nothing more than seedlings.
Rain barrels are put in place to collect the rain water to help water the plants and flower beds throughout the spring and summer.
By placing rain barrels to trap the rain water, this will help to lessen the pressure of using water from your taps which has a dramatic effect on the water usage as some cities and towns are beginning to limit the use of water.
With spring comes rain and it usually can be a wet one, with these barrels in place, they will save you enough to water your plants and what ever else you may need the water for.
These barrels are usually in a 45 gallon size drum and are made of some type of hard resin plastic material.
The price range will vary from store to store and the difference is not all that much, they are worth the investment and time in doing our part to alleviate some pressure from mother nature.
The summer season will surely provide us with plenty of water and with the rain barrels in their proper place, you can wash your home, vehicle and what ever else that may need cleaning.
By early summer your flowers should be in full bloom and you will have more than enough to water them until the arrival of the cold season in late fall.
Using these barrels is just one example in how we can do our part to save the precious water that can give life and take life as we have seen from other disasters in other parts of the world.
By using these rain barrels for other uses in our everyday lives we can help the environment and our community by setting an example for everyone else to see and hope that others will follow in buying rain barrels to save water.
