I love the rain water one, the plants love the rain water as well. I have much less trouble with blossom end rot on my tamatoes when they're watere with rain water as opposed to tap water. To save even more money build your own rain barrels. My system was made with 7 food grade 55 gallons plastic barrels that we bought used from a factory (they held corn syrup). Those and all of the PVC to connect them cost me less than buying 1 pre-made rain barrel. Here's what they look like: http://chiotsrun.com/2008/07/23/precious-water/ If you don't have the skills to connect them all together, buy a recycled drum and connect it to your downspout, just make sure you screen it for insects & debris. I only paid $10 for each barrel. Great tips! I love the rain water one, the plants love the rain water as well.
