Greenhouse: Rain Collection Problems
The only thing left on our greenhouse project is to finish the interior. Over the summer, however, one of the rain barrels sprang a leak. So this had to be dealt with first.

At the time, Dan drained the barrels and took the leaky one down. He also wanted to change the pipe from the downspout, because the amount of water coming off that roof was more than the PVC pipe could handle. So we postponed dealing with the rain barrels and he set up a new collection tote outside.

This set-up bypassed the greenhouse altogether, which was okay because I don’t use the greenhouse in summer anyway. Now that the heater is done, it’s time to get ready to put the greenhouse to use.
The experimental fix was to run a smaller tube off the downspout . . .
. . . and into the remaining rainwater tank.
This will slow the flow or rainwater into the tank, hopefully not too much. It may need to be a little larger, but it’s a start. We’re supposed to get a good rain next weekend, so we’ll know better then if a larger hose or other changes are needed.
If this works out, we’ll add a new second barrel soon.
