We like to turn setbacks into opportunities. When the forecast looks gloomy, why not capture that rain and put it to work? This week we’re excited to host a giveaway from The Rain Barrel Company, a brand that offers durable, attractive rain barrels and other sustainable garden products. One lucky reader will win a professional pre-made rain barrel and stand—an easy way to start collecting rainwater without the DIY effort.
These ready-made barrels let you join the collect-your-own-rainwater movement while saving on your water bill and reducing runoff. The Rain Barrel Company offers several styles and finishes, so the winner can choose the barrel that best fits their home and garden.
- PRIZE: One of the three rain barrels and stand shown above (Californian, Mocha Cascata, or Terra Cotta Cascata). Individual values range from $183 to $337.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “RAIN ON ME!”
- BONUS QUESTION: Share your favorite rainy-day activity. Do you watch a movie, read a book, browse blogs, or daydream about filling a rain barrel?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Thursday, July 16, 2009 at 8pm EST
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: USA and Canada
- THE USUAL STUFF: One entry per email address. Winner chosen at random and announced on Thursday. Good luck!
