    Rain Maker….

    …..bring us some rain.  I made a discovery earlier this week….for a mere $40 I would learn how to make a rain barrel with the barrel and conversion hardware supplied.  This is a class provided by the Hampton Master Gardeners and the City of Hampton several times each spring.   I signed myself up and off to  Bluebird Gap Farm I went.  They had a short class prior to barrel making on water conservation and recycling.  Afterwards we went outside and proceeded to make our rain barrels….. My 55 gallon olive barrel from Spain with conversion hardware.  The holes are pre-drilled prior to our arrival.  Using nuts, washers and caulk, the faucet is installed…
