   And keep in mind that the water coming off your roof will be affected by
anything on the roof such as pigeon droppings.  I know you wouldn't drink it
but check the pH before you put it on your garden.  Those 32 gal jobbies
will not be moveable when full either.  The handles would rip off long
before you could lift the 250 odd pounds of water.  But they are a good
idea.  I want several for water and tea both organic and fish emulsion.
Might try them if I can't find used 55 gal drums which could have nasty
Stuff in them
