Harvesting rain water doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. You can make rain barrels, create hot tub ponds, buy a cistern or dig a pond or a swale. There are some mistakes I made when harvesting rainwater on my old homestead, though, and I don’t want you to struggle with the same issues. Since http://www.ThePrepperProject.com had me write an article on harvesting rain water, I decided to create a video on the topic as well. Get rid of mosquitoes in ponds, get rid of algae, learn to harvest rainwater on the cheap and find out how much rainwater a roof can collect – thanks for watching and enjoy!

There is a really good video somewhere where they leave an open source and filter the mosquito laver out but rescue the water because it somehow attracts mosquitoes to lay if other have. Go find that and use that to help with them
Great video

Great vid. Thank u
Our house was the first on the street before public water was available. We removed 2 large galvanised metal tanks which were leaking.
Happy Movember!
Drops of cinnamon essential oil in sitting water to control the mosquitos naturally
In Melbourne, Victoria, Australia new houses must have a rain barrel or solar water heater, which was a response to drought! My home has a huge concrete tank which supplies all the water needs of the home except in summer to water the garden! We use a filter and a electric pump. The tank has a lid to prevent mosquitoes from entering.
I'm sick to death of the Grammerly advert at start of every vid

i'd like to see this guys eyes when he's stoned and sleepy. : )
What is the best way to make it drinkable? Word has it that asphalt shingles basically ruin rainwater for drinking. Could really use your help here.
Feeder goldfish (about 20 cents a piece at the pet store) keep our 6+ rain barrels completely free of mosquitoes
Are those mimosa hostilis trees behind you
Citronella plants ward mosquitoes as well. Hadn't much luck planting in ground, but grew well in a large pot
Thanks. good idea.
I have two 550 gallons tanks. The cost was $1,000.00. The savings in my town is about $10.00 per months. In ten years it pays for.
So far would I know is that collecting rainwater is legal in Arizona, Colorado, and Texas. If y'all know any other states that allows it, please respond.
