Rainwater

Easy DIY Rainwater Harvesting Using IBC Totes Ever since a huge wind destroyed our roof and left our rainwater harvesting system in shambles, we took a break from our house build to set up a new system by our compost station. It's an easy system to set up and has a 550 gallon capacity. This can be expanded indefinitely to fit your needs.

We have no training in carpentry or electrical work. We've come armed only with two Permaculture Design Certificates and a whole lot of determination. Join us on our journey to move beyond a sustainable lifestyle into a regenerative one. We chose to live in the desert because we love the location and we wanted the challenge of bringing this desert landscape into productive abundance. #GreenDreamProject #rainwaterharvesting #offgrid

Today I take you over to my dad's house to check out how he is using a simple 300gal IBC tote lifted on blocks to water some winter greens. He is in southern Arizona and has been watering the garden greens on this side of his house almost exclusively with rainwater for the last few months. Really cool when you consider we are in a desert here! Maybe this will give you an idea of how to add a simple, cheap and effective rainwater collection system for your own house and garden.
