Don't think there's much to it, just put a barrel under the gutter spout and screen the water so nothing gets in. You can find blue food grade 55gal drums for around 15-20$. Rainwater picks up another oxygen molecule falling through the air so it's like hydrogen peroxide, shouldn't have a problem storing it and it helps oxygenate the soil unlike stale tap water.
isnt that illegal in some places?
Good point. Might want to look into that.
Thwy will still get heat but they prefer a very dry soil. Pretty intersting varieties out there.
Those used to be cheap and available around here. Now they are neither. But a great way to build a raised bed; just add lag screws and Bob's yer uncle
this would work.. or this.. or with this!Hose bib: this or a manifold(more connections)
You haven't given any specs: how big a garden, how far from hose bib.
If you plot it out, then design a drip system it will be cheaper and more efficient
Plumbers always over engineering shit; get back to the land brah.this would work.. or this.. or with this!
....thats a PEX pipe fitting.. its a 3/4" female hose adaptor so you can thread it right onto the outside faucet. then the other side is a 1/2" pex fitting. youll need some pex pipe which is this..

..you can bury that line too and itll be alright. youll need some 1/2" pex rings which are these..
you slide the ring onto the pex then put the pex on the fitting... and you slide the ring into place, like an 1/8" from the end of the pex and crimp it. but make sure you get the rings and not shitty sharkbite fittings.. the rings last a really long time.. sharkbites are for people who dont have a clue about what theyre doing.. this is the tool youll need to crimp the ring, its really easy, the rectangle nub coming off it.. like where a diamond would be on a normal person ring. you squeeze that with the crimper and it locks it in place.
then on the other end of the pex line.. put a ring on it.. and put a hose valve on it and crimp it.. hose valve looks like this.. needs to be a 1/2" pex valve..
turn the original faucet you have on and you got water going wherever you need it to. hope this made sense.. probably your cheapest option if you do it yourself
if this post didnt make sense.. blame this -->
your mother is a creosote sealant.If you decide to go for a railroad tie raised bed, make sure to line it with 3mil poly before you load it with soil. The creosote sealant they use to treat the ties is toxic. Learned that one the hard way.
