The great thing about these rain barrels is that not only are they a gorgeous terracota color, but they also can be linked in series.

If your roof collects a lot of water, it is possible to link multiple barrels together via the overflow. Or alternatively, you could have the barrel's overflow go into a "French drain" (essentially a ditch backfilled with gravel) alongside the garden. This wouldn't water the garden directly but some of it could saturate the surrounding ground. Good luck! Hey Jim, glad you found our rain barrel post interesting.
