And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

As if you're going to truck the water out of state? I wonder what they think happens to that water other than delay it going into the ground by a few days, tops?
Read somewhere that a person added a diversion to the gutter above this. When the rain first starts the water goes elsewhere until the dirt/leaves/twigs are washed out. then the switchover takes place to let the water run into the collection barrel.
Fit an overflow kit to take excess to drain and you have a constantly refreshed full water butt. We water the garden and flower pots for free, and without work of any kind, all the year round. One at front and one in garden. Not sure of capacity but heck the Thames Valley isn't Nevada.
"Not legal in all states"... some places out west own the rain.
ReplyDeleteNot as new but I have one for my garden.

It prevents rainwater from replenishing the aquifer.
No I don't agree with it.
