We’ve finally gotten a long, soaking rain, here in South Austin! The stock tank hose has been emptying into the upper flower bed for a good 12 hours now, and the lowest zones of my yard have standing water that is slowly soaking in.
It’s SUCH a relief to finally get a decent rain before the heat kicks in!

It’s working and you get a nice water feature while using down the water stored there. We’ll sure need it almost as soon as the rain stops. That’s a nice way to handle the water runoff, I have a bunch of buckets all over the porch right now.
That is sooooooooo Clever!!!!! Looks coooool too 🙂
So glad to hear this!
Oh happy day.
What a great idea! We have been using watering troughs for growing veggies…
Too cool! Where did you pick up the stock tank?
I picked up a 90 gallon tank just like it at Tractor Supply.
The difference between their setup and mine, is mine is set on 2 blocks and we have a clockwork timer (non electric) to shut off the flow.
Remember this 90 gallon tank will weigh almost 1000 pounds when full.
