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!</p> Hey Jim, glad you found our rain barrel post interesting.
