Tuesday, May 8th & Saturday, May 12th
Is one rain barrel not enough free water for you? If you’re looking for a do-it-yourself rainwater system with increased capacity, no permits, and easy installation, this workshop is essential for you. A 275-gallon tank can water approximately 500 square feet of land per week, drastically reducing summertime water bills. Come learn how to retrofit two 275-gallon tanks into a rainwater system for your home or business.
This is a two-part series. Attend both classes and leave with the resources and know-how to retrofit tanks for your own rainwater harvesting system.
