Lone Prairie got the lowdown on the rain barrel

I was wondering about the spigot on the bottom there.
Building a rain barrel is easy and you should do it if you garden – especially in Nebraska or any other dry state.
Obtain a 55 gallon plastic drum, preferably not used for noxious chemicals, from the Keep Nebraska Beautiful – Materials Exchange Program at (402) 486-4622 or (402) 486-4562.
3/4 inch brass spigots for garden hoses x2
4″ – 6″ plastic drain grate
1 foot square of window screen
teflon tapeRinse the barrel thouroghly. Cut a hole in the top of the barrel large enough to place the drain grate………..
