Or, as I usually call it - "my kick-ass rain barrel." That's 275 gallons, baby. Someone pointed out that I should have a picture of someone standing by it, for scale, but I still don't have such a picture. It's about 4' tall.
It overflows through these holes onto the "lawn" if it gets too full.
And I can attach a regular garden hose to its faucet.
I know - it's ugly.
So we planted a passiflora vine to cover it, and because of my obession with growing things I can eat, we searched out a passiflora that is supposed to produce good fruit.
It's filling in nicely, and has begun to bloom.
The water comes in from the downspout off the roof gutters (duh).
