A Barrel of Fun!

Grab a rain barrel this Earth Day, and let the savings pour in!

On Tuesday, April 22nd, Earth Day will be celebrated around the world, including right here in the Grey Bruce area!

Earth Day is the perfect time to pick up a rain barrel so that you can start collecting naturally pure rainwater to use in your garden. Here are a few benefits of having a rain barrel:

Watered Down
Rainwater can be used to water your plants, which helps reduce your water bills.

Rain Or Shine
Rain barrels provide a sustainable water source during droughts or water restrictions.

Breathe Easy
Rainwater contains more oxygen than tap water, which promotes plant growth.

Don’t Run Off
Rain barrels reduce stormwater runoff, which helps prevent erosion and pollution.

Right As Rain
Your houseplants will thrive as rainwater is naturally soft and chemical-free.

If you already have a rain barrel, make sure it’s securely connected to your downspouts, clear of debris and that the overflow drain points away from your foundation.

If you don’t already have a rain barrel, Earth Day is the perfect time to pick one up. That way, instead of just weathering the storm, you’ll be able to cash in on this year’s April showers!

Whatever you end up doing this Earth Day, here’s hoping you have a world of fun and a barrel of laughs!
