damn.

more rain coming next week - and me with no containers and no cistern. Knowing the Quakers, they won't have anything decided in time for the rains, and that could put me off my goal to live city-water free for the rest of the season. damn.

re containers....first think of the soil as your primary container then store in other containers for the times between rains to use as a tap water flush or regenerative water source.
I have a 600g cistern and 3 main drum gathering sites with about 150g at each area.
Do what ever you can while keeping your rainwater on-site.
