Re: Rain barrels

I can attest that rainbarrels don't have enough pressuure to use a soaker
hose. Mine are only up on one cinder block though. I just fill my watering
can from them or hook up a regular hose for low pressure area watering. I
bought them with the pvc fittings already installed. They are attached by
angled sections of downspout, I don't have the greatest pictures of them but
you can get an idea on my web page, especially in these pictures:
