BMGA Re-Purposes Plastic Food Production Barrels in the Garden
Planters & rainwater harvesting barrels made from re-purposed food production barrels
Under Master Gardener Pete Berckenhoff’s leadership, the Bluebonnet Master Gardener Association, built rainwater harvesting barrels and planters by re-purposing plastic food production barrels. Pete’s group of Master Gardener volunteers gathered at BMGA member Renee Kofman’s warehouse in Sealy and turned it into a busy production workshop for building the barrels and planters. These rainwater harvesting barrels are designed to collect roof rainwater run-off through a homeowner’s gutter downspout. Although the collected water is not suitable for drinking water, it is great for watering plants, gardens and adding water to your compost pile. Planters are available with a lightweight PVC frame or the wooden frame and are counter-top height.
BMGA will sell the rainwater harvesting barrels and planters until supplies last at its annual Spring Plant Sale in Sealy on April 14, 2018. The Plant Sale is one of BMGA’s two Texas Sales Tax Free events this year so during that event, the barrels and planters are sale tax free.

BMGA to Again Sell Rainwater Harvesting Barrels
BMGA will build and sell a limited supply of rainwater harvesting barrels for homeowners to collect rainwater from roof runoff. The barrels are made with 55 gallon barrels and will be sold at the Plant Sale for $55.00. While not suitable for drinking water, the water collected is great for watering plants and other outdoor uses. The State of Texas encourages citizens to participate in water conservation and rainwater harvesting.
BMGA member and veteran Master Gardener Pete Berckenhoff leads this project. Pete and his team will assemble the barrels and deliver them to the Plant Sale for sale to the public. Master Gardeners wishing to assist with building the barrels should contact Pete.
