Rain Barrels now available!

RainBarrel

Want to do your part to reduce stormwater runoff? Would you like to have a way to store rain water for your garden or flowers? A rain barrel is a great way to save water and "go green". But you may find that using rain water instead of city or ground water will really help your plants thrive. Most say its because groundwater is "hard" whereas rain water is soft. The barrels we sell are ready to hook up to your downspout and have a filter sock to trap debris and keep mosquitoes out. The barrels come with an overflow hose that you can direct away from your house. They hold about 50 gallons, but if that's not enough, buy a second or third barrel and connect them together for increased capacity.

Our price is $50 plus tax.

If you would like to purchase a barrel, call us at 507-332-5408 or stop by our office in Faribault.

Don't like blue? The barrels can be painted to blend in with your house! (Please call ahead to ensure availability)
