Rain barrels: come build your own or buy one ready-made!
Take advantage of the water nature gives us. Using a rain barrel or cistern to collect rainwater can lower your water bill, be good for your plants, and also protect the environment by reducing runoff from your property.
A Build Your Own Rain Barrel workshop will be held at the Onslow Multipurpose Complex on July 17. Workshop participants will install the hardware for a 55-gallon rain barrel; including brass faucet, overflow pipe, and screened water inlet. The fee for the class and barrel is $35. Readymade rain barrels will also be available for $45.
Four 1-hr workshop sessions will be offered: 10-11, 11-12, 1-2, and 2-3. Please stop by the Onslow office for Cooperative Extension to reserve your place in a workshop or to order a ready-made barrel. Your reservation can also be made by mailing the bottom of this form, along with the appropriate fee, to the address indicated below.
