Cancelled, may be rescheduled. Saturday, March 28th, 9am to Noon at the
BCMGA Learning Center, 1605 N. Main St. Belton, Texas 76513
Learn how to harvest/collect rain water that can be saved and later used in your garden. The workshop teaches you how to convert a 55-gallon, food grade, plastic drum into a rain barrel that can be used to harvest rain water from your roof in your own backyard. Use just one or chain them together.
Class fee is $65 and paid in advance, guarantees you a spot (20 spots available) and includes one, 55-gallon, food-grade rain barrel. The workshop covers the setup and how-to of rain harvesting. A hole is drilled and spigot inserted… participants leave with a fully functional, ready to use rain collection barrel. (FYI: A 55-gal rain barrel can fit in the back seat of a Honda Civic.)
