what to do when you run out of rain water??
So i have two rain barrels that hold a combined 110 gallons of water.
I discovered last night that my larger barrel has a small leak and my smaller tank is empty.
It has been pretty dry here for about a week and i don't believe there is any rain forecasted over the weekend so.....
I have a couple choices:
A) i have tons of bottled spring water- about 10, 5 gallon bottles ( stay ready for hurricanes) i can use this i imagine but it will be pricey
B) use city water
C) fill one of the barrel with city water now and let it stand for a few days to at least gas off the Chlorine and let some of the junk settle out
D) use my sprinkler well water which is full of iron and stains everything it touches brown and orange
E) winter water break for the plants
F) something else i have not considered
any thoughts would be much appriciated
