No need for a rain barrel here, as we have so much rain

No, and I don't plan to because I live in an apartment and have no place to put it.

www.familyhandyman.com/project/how-to-build-a-rain-barrel "This DIY rain barrel costs less than $100 and works just as well as the expensive one you can buy. Get complete how-to instructions and start saving water with the next rainfall...." My notes: For those who would like to try their hand at building one. They are quite easy. We've made them for much cheaper but they were just a simple barrel with a spigot attached. Nothing fancy.

Normally we get plenty of rain, but when it's in-between, the rain barrels really come in handy.

We have several rain barrels we use. Even made a few of them.

We don't have a rain barrel but recently the local government announced that every house owner should install a rainwater harvesting system. I think this is a good idea to reduce water consumption.

We use normal barrel only since we don't have space also rain is heavier here. I must admit good for storing rain water and using for plants since it works as fertilizer and makes plants healthier.
I think you have less rains theirfore you are storing rain water in barrels.

Nope, no rain barrel here. I should probably invest in one or two for droughts though.
