Patty in Wisc · 03-21-2010, 11:05 PM

We have a recycle center that makes & sells 55 gal rainbarrels. I bought one 5 yrs ago or more ($30.00). My back deck is about 2 ft above ground plus I raised the barrel another 12 inches, & still don't have enough pressure for watering garden. I fill buckets with it. I just wish they put the spigot further down...when it gets to that point, there's still 4-5 gal water in it so I have to tip the barrel. I'll have to post a pic soon.
