Huh? I have *no* idea what you are trying to convey.
What doesn't work like what? What is not a little one foot waterproof
container? Seriously, I am clueless about what you mean and I don't
even have me snooter in the ale barrel.
Perhaps I was not clear and assumed that people would know that
capturing roof runoff and storing it in a tank and barrels and then
using the saved water for watering raised beds is what I was talking
about, ie. harvesting rain water. It is a handy figure to know in order
to calculate the square footage of my beds, start watering, and know
when to stop when I have applied, say one inch of water, by simply
looking at the graduations on my tank.
