FloWise Water-Saving Showerhead

A rain barrel is essential for eco-friendly gardening, storing your free rain water and reducing your water bills. But they are usually very bulky and heavy items, costing quite a bit for delivery as well as in the purchase price. A collapsible rain barrel is a very affordable solution. This one stores up to 74 gallons of water and only weighs 8 lbs. It can be stored away at the end of the season to prevent problems with it freezing up in winter. There is mesh screen to keep out debris but it is not fine enough to keep the mosquitoes out too, so you may need to add another layer of screening if mosquitoes are a problem in your area. Though probably less durable than a solid resin rain barrel, this collapsible model does the job.
