When drought sets in and rain is in short supply, rain barrels can provide that precious water you need for your lawn and garden. The Good Ideas Rain Wizard Plastic Rain Barrel can provide 40 gallons of pure, un-chlorinated water when municipalities declare periods of low water usage. During heavy rainfalls, a typical roof can produce hundreds of gallons of water. By saving that water, you can reduce your average water usage by up to 40 percent. With those kinds of savings, the rain wizard can pay for itself in just a few seasons. This rain barrel by Good Ideas features an attractive faux oak barrel design that naturally fits in with your landscape. The wide variety of colors allows you to match your barrel further to your home and yard without standing out. Its plastic screen mesh is newly designed to keep out bugs, animals, and debris while still being easy to remove for cleaning and maintenance, and is gentle on the skin. A front-side overflow keeps water from flooding against your outside wall. The flat-back design is one of the most convenient features as it allows your barrel to sit right up against your home so you don't have to worry about purchasing excess downspout parts. These barrels are tough. While most barrels will crack or become brittle in the winter, the rain wizard will stay strong. It is still recommended that you drain your barrels when temperatures approach the freezing point. Keep your yard and garden watered naturally using the Good Ideas Rain Wizard 40 Gallon Capacity Plastic Rain Barrel. This sustainable approach not only conserves resources but also promotes a greener and more environmentally conscious gardening practice.
