WHAT IS A RAIN BARREL?
They collect and store 55 gallons of rainwater from your roof that you can use when it's dry to give thirsty gardens, flowers and trees a drink.  

Rain barrels help keep excess water out of the sewer system when it rains.  They also help prevent rain from becoming polluted stormwater runoff, the biggest remaining threat to clean water in the United States.

2.  Rough the surface of the barrel with a piece of fine grit sand paper.
