Since Cooperative Extension is getting a lot of calls from citizens asking about rain barrels, they are now offering them for sale.The 80-gallon barrel from Rain Barrel USA (a North Carolina company) measures 37 inches high and 28 inches wide. It is made of 20% recycled high-density polypropylene. The heavy concave lid channels water flow into the barrel. The screened entry blocks leaves, debris and insects; the dark green color discourages algae growth. The barrel has two overflow ports to move water away from your home, and it comes complete with fittings and installation instructions. You can find more information on the barrel at Rain Barrel USA's website. The barrel is $110 plus tax. You can pay with cash, or by check made payable to �Buncombe County.� To purchase a barrel (they have them in stock), come to the Buncombe County Center of NC Cooperative Extension, 94 Coxe Avenue, Asheville, NC 28801 (corner of Coxe and Hilliard) or call 828-255-5522.
