In the final video of our Rainscapes series, “Maintaining Your Rain Barrel,” you will learn how to effectively take care and use your barrel as well as how to handle mosquitoes, get ready for storms, and prepare for winter.

The City of Rockville is committed to encouraging its citizens to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. As part of our stormwater management initiative, we’ve produced a 4-part video series that shows our citizens how to reduce their water storm water run off, and how to choose, install and maintain a rain barrel.

We decided to install two 80 gallon rainsaver rain barrels in the back of the warehouse here at Clean Air Gardening. These are used for rainwater harvesting. We’ve got a few gardening projects out back, and this is ideal for rainwater collection.

In this video, we tell you a little bit about the rain barrels, and show you just exactly how we did it. Enjoy the video, and we hope it helps spark some creativity for your own rain water harvesting.

If you have any questions about rain barrels, please visit our site. We have a large rain barrel section, and a gardening advice section that may answer some questions you might have. The link to the site (specifically the rain barrel page) is at the top of this video description.

Thanks!

I’ve got a wall inside my head
It’s got to set your soul free
I’ve got a wheel inside my head
The wheel of understanding

I’m a loadin’, loadin’ my war machine
I’m contributing to the system, the break down scheme
I’m a shuttin’ down, I’m shuttin’ down your greed for green
I am here to gun it down, I gotta do

I see pretty flowers at my feet
Cool breeze, clean air, hospitality
Pretty please, a pretty please, pretty please
Get the away from me

I’m a loadin’, loadin’ my war machine
I’m contributing to the system, the break down scheme
I’m a shuttin’ down, I’m shuttin’ down your greed for green
I am here to gun it down, I gotta do

I’ve got a wall inside my head
It’s got to set your soul free
I’ve got a wheel inside my head
A wheel of understanding

I’m a loadin’, loadin’ my war machine
I’m contributing to the system, the break down scheme
I’m a shuttin’ down, I’m shuttin’ down your greed for green baby
I am here to gun it down, I gotta do

Lyrics

I’ve got a war inside my head
It’s got to set itself free
I’ve got a wheel inside my head
A wheel of understanding

I’m loading my war machine
I’m contributing to the system
The breakdown scheme
I’m a shutting down your greed for green
I am here to gun it down
I’m gonna do it

I see pretty flowers at my feet
Cool breeze, clean air, hospitality
Pretty please, pretty please, pretty please
Get the away from me

I’m loading my war machine
I’m contributing to the system
The breakdown scheme
I’m a shutting down your greed for green
I am here to gun it down
I’m gonna do it

I’ve got a war inside my head
It’s got to set itself free
I’ve got a wheel inside my head
A wheel of understanding

I’m loading my war machine
I’m contributing to the system
The breakdown scheme
I’m a shutting down your greed for green
I am here to gun it down
I’m gonna do it

Despite a crippling ice storm in Texas, work continues at the project house. Builder Bill Moore shows master carpenter Norm Abram how hes using old roof rafters to fashion the railing system and nosings for the new stair treads. In the kitchen, homeowner Michele Grieshaber has selected six different paint colors, and paint specialist Mike Branch explains why, due to low-VOCs, the new paint were using will be less toxic to homeowners and workers. Outside, plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey lends a hand moving a 1200-gallon tank into place on the property, while rainwater harvester Blake West shows how the water will be collected from the metal roof with a series of gutters and PVC pipes, stored in the tank, and used later for irrigation. Richard visits West Texas to see how Texans are creating clean, renewable energy by harvesting the wind. Tile contractors Robbie & Bryan Hawkins install handmade tile made from 50% recycled-content on the master bathroom floor. Richard gets an update on the mechanicals from HVAC contractor Matt Romero whos installed a high efficiency two-stage air conditioning system with an electronic clean air filter.
