Whether you design a complete rainwater catchment system, build a rain barrel, or just stick a couple buckets under your downspouts, rain is a great way to water your garden. Rain water is actually quite clean, because it doesn’t have any of the dissolved salts or pollutants that are often found in ground and surface water. Nor does it contain the chlorine used to treat municipal water supplies. Best of all, it’s free!
