Helping the Earth and your Garden

Save the planet, water and money

Over 40 percent of our water is used outside our homes. Ballooning populations, reduction of fresh water and drought from climate change is making water increasingly more valuable. If we saved even just 100 gallons a year per person (the average daily use per person) The US alone would save 30 billion gallons annually.

Why Blue?

These barrels have been collected from facilities that use process food stuffs, typically juice. Normally, these companies would simply send the barrels to the landfills but we rescue them and convert them into rain barrels. Be aware that because these barrels are converted, there may be cosmetic blemishes or a slight juice odor. The blemishes should not affect barrel function and the juice odor should dissipate after the first few cycles of rain 

Buckets of fun

The Big Blue has two spigot locations for hose bib hookups. Use the upper location for filling buckets or handling overflow and the lower one for running hoses.

Screened for protection

The anti-debris and bug screen on the barrel's top will work with standard 2x3 and 3x4 downspouts. The soft mesh keeps out mosquitoes and other pests and can be removed with a phillips head screwdriver.

Brass spigot

This brass plated, turn-down spigot is 3/4-inch to work with standard hose hookups. And it's no kink design keeps water flowing. Comes with plumber's tape to seal.
