looked into rain barrels myself, BUT due to the spanish revival architecture of my own home (w/ an old school clay tile roof), could not think of a way to install gutters to redirect rain fall into rain barrels
anyone else have a 1920s era spanish revival “tile roof” AND figure out a way to install a rain fall collection system?
anyway since I don’t have rain barrels I’m doing the next best thing,… basically I’ve observed where the rain fall “ground flows” so built small landscape features to allow water to soak into the ground AND threw native wild flower seeds (like california poppy) in those areas,… the goal being to provide habitat for native pollinators
