How can you make the most of April showers? By installing a rain barrel or two!
Circle City Rain Barrels will be at the IWFM this Saturday and next Saturday with their upcycled barrels -- 55-gallon food-grade drums and 55-gallon bourbon oak barrels.
These BPA- and chemical-free containers are the perfect addition to almost any garden. The water collected provides an ample supply of free "soft water" containing no chlorine, lime or calcium, making it ideal for gardens, flowers or potted plants! In edible gardens, use rain barrel water only at the roots of plants. Check out pictures, prices and more on the Circle City Rain Barrels website!
