Default Ben's IBC Rainwater collection

Hey guys,

I'm just starting to experiment with rainwater collection.

I have a 275 gallon (1000 liter) intermediate bulk container water storage tank. It is not the fancy stackable ones with the aluminum frames, it's just sort of a giant 4' cube plastic water jug. (Got it for free from a bottling company. Had corn syrup in it - still sticky!)

My plan to to build a platform about three feet high, and put it on there, then divert my garage gutter to it for rainwater collection. The water will be used for the garden.

I'm just starting this, and I'll post some photos and more details as I progress.

-Ben
