Anyone using a rain barrel? Any good recommendations on where to get one cheap or free? Our city sells them for $100 which is a bit more than I wanted to spend.......

I use the blue poly barrels.They had aloe vera pulp/juice originally,and can be had for about $ 8.00 around here.Downspout to screened funnel allows water in without access for mosquitoes.We're on a well,and at times the water can be easily made potable.Many neighbors prefer this water for gardens.Dangerous organic stuff you know!
