With the BP oil spill in the news right now, thousands of people are rallying around saving our beaches, our ecology, our wetlands, our natural habitats and the wildlife that is sustained by all these wonderful lands.
On a somewhat lesser level, many of us who are conscious about maintaining our planet as natural as possible, are concerned about the state of our waters and how safe they are.
Many have decided to recycle water, conserve it, or collect it, not only for their own peace of mind, but consciously making the decision to do their parts in trying to conserve our precious water.
There are parts of the United States where there is too much water, and others not enough.
Regardless of what state we live in, we can consciously collect the pure water that is given to us by mother nature.
Rain Barrels were invented specifically for that reason because, while we can collect in pots or buckets, or other open objects, these not only are not covered, but can attract the wrong kind of animal or bugs, such as mosquitoes which only need a small capful to deposit their eggs.
Because Rain Barrels are closed, the water is maintained just as pure as when it dropped from the sky.
Because we sometimes have the opportunity to do so, we draw our water from wells, or even recycle water.
Not everyone has access to recycled water and in many neighborhoods, that is not an option.
Most recycled water is appropriate for watering plants and lawns, but doesn't offer the purified and clear state that the rain drops collected by Rain Barrels can offer.
A lot of us are concerned about doing our best and be aware of our ecology.
Recycling bath water, dishwater, or even water collected from showers as we wait for the water to warm up, our dogs' water bowl, etc.
But water that we conserve from our own home environment again lacks the purity of rain water; however collected, the more we can conserve, the better for our planet and the more reduction in our monthly water bills.
Rain Barrels should become as essential to our gardens as a lawnmower for gardeners who are concerned about their plants, bushes and trees.
Just as we cover our delicate plantings with rich top soil and good mulch, we should always attempt to water our plants with the best water and that is rain water.
Plants react completely differently to sprinkler water than rain water, the latter being more nutritious and purer.
Installing a Rain Barrel is very easy and quite economical.
It will pay for itself numerous times from the water quality collected in Rain Barrels and the quality of the landscaping which becomes so much more lush when watered with rain water.
Every serious gardener should think about adding a Rain Barrel just as they accumulate tools for the garage or garden.
It is an essential part of the garden, not only because of its ecological function, but because of its purpose.
Water preserved in Rain Barrels has no color, no odor and has a fresh smell.
It's true potential is to remain clean, transparent and pure.
