Rain Barrels from recycled wine barrels!

Have you wanted to install rain barrels, but were a bit hesititant because of the aesthetics of the typical rain barrel? Have you been uninspired to put a big plastic drum along the side of your house that might interfere with your gorgeous garden?

Well...then check out Barrel Depot! This local company makes rain barrels (and planters and ourdoor tables) from recycled solid oak wine barrels.

You can buy one already converted into a rain barrel, or buy a barrel and a do-it-yourself kit (and save $68). The barrels can be ordered online and picked up at their warehouse in Shakopee...OR pick them up yourself at the Mill City Farmer's Market. They will also deliver for $35 for up to 2 barrels.

We are planning to buy a few this summer, as soon as we get our gutters re-done...I'll keep you all posted!
