2010 additions

In 2010  we added the barrel at the end of the strawberries

And one in the front under the car port to redirect water away from the drain for  the garage. 

The goal for these was to keep the strawberries watered without carrying a hose around the house every time, and keep some of the water out of the drain in front of the garage to help prevent it from flooding.
The strawberry bed was furthered by some hoses I picked up from a person on freecycle. I got a worn garden hose and a 50 foot soaker hose for free. I cut the soaker hose into pieces to fit the strawberry and raspberry beds, then attached them to short pieces of the garden hose to keep the water dripping only where I wanted it. Home Depot sells dozen of hose attachments and parts for only a dollar or two each. Decide how you want the hose to work and pick the attachments needed. This allowed me to water both beds by only turning on the barrels for 20 mins or so.
The barrel in the car port needed an extension on the overflow hose, so another trip to HD and the overflow ran the length of the wall and onto the back lawn. This kept the barrel from flooding the drain with excessive rain and redirected the rain that was originally coming from the gutter out the back.
This put us up to 4 barrels and held me over until the next year's sale ;)
