TIP: Cut Water Costs with a Rain Barrel

TIP: Cut your water bill this summer with a rain barrel that collects rain water from your roof to water your garden or wash your car! I installed one last year, it was really easy. And I almost always had water available to water my flowers. The only thing I didn't like is the water pressure is nearly zero, so it requires some patience. But still, it was free water compliments of Mother Nature! The Conservation Foundation in Naperville is offering a workshop on Saturday April 4 ($10) and they'll be selling rain barrels ($85) - get more info at http://tinyurl.com/d3ye4j
