Rain in a Barrel: Catching and using water on a small holding

Wade Hollis

You will learn to read your land like a map of falling water. Wade Hollis walks you through catching rain from roof to barrel, sizing your system to your actual needs, and putting every gallon to work in garden, coop, or home. You will understand how rain moves across slopes and rooflines, why simple gutters outperform fancy ones, and how a line of five-gallon buckets can be as useful as any tank. Silas Quince narrates in a steady, plainspoken voice that feels like a neighbor leaning on a fence post, explaining what he has lived and built himself. No jargon, no pressure, just practical steps you can take this season. Start listening and plan your first rain barrel before the next storm.
