Smelly rainwater

My Mom got two rainwater barrels last year, and when it got warm a few weeks ago they started to STINK! Since I recently installed a barrel a my place last weekend, this is a problem I'd like to see solved.

Does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of the smell? I've read about putting chlorine bleach or copper into the tank, killing any microorganisms, but these treatments don't do any good to plants (our rainwater is only for garden watering).
