The benefits to having a rain barrel are huge. First, water in your rain barrel is not subject to community watering restrictions and has no additives like fluoride or iron to irritate your plants. Second, your water bill will be smaller. Third, a rain barrel helps reduce problems associated with storm-water runoff.

In this video, Fine Gardening assistant editor Danielle Sherry demonstrates how to build a rain barrel for under $50.

Gallon milk jugs filled with water stand at the ready to offer a drink to newly planted tomato seedlings. Get more info on watering your garden:
