<<do you have a store in your town called tsc ( tractor supply company) or
rural king?  they have 50 gallon barrels, hard plastic and steel, for about
$6.50 in several colors. you could always buy a two wheel dolly or build a
wooden platform with wheels(lke the ones made to put under heavy planters)
to move them around.

Yes, we do have TSC and I'll check them out.  I do not plan on ever moving 
the barrels. The veggie garden is next to the barn and the rain I plan to 
catch is from the barn roof. Will work on the house roof next :) I have a 
pond and would love to pump that water to the garden but it is up hill about 
a quarter mile away! Oh well!  I liked the barrels from Gardeners Supply Co 
as they have a spout on the bottom but hubby says he can add that to a barrel 
if I find them for less...
Thanks to everyone for the input - I'll let you know if and what we find - 
knowing us it will be just as the drought sets in that we get the barrels set 
up! Sigh! Oh well school is over (hubby) in late April and then I can get him 
to finish the green house he started last June!
