We will provide all the materials, tools and instruction to create a 50 gallon rain barrel with a spigot. Each person will create their own barrel to take home. We will be working on increasing the BHF onsite rain water storage capacity. We will discuss different designs and show plenty of examples of systems. ("Rain Exchange," tank storage, barrel systems, solar showers, flow through planters) So come join us for a day of water conservation and water fun! Your free to come and go as your schedule allows. This will be a rain and shine event!

Jared's Garden

After helping my buddy Jared move to Klamath Falls OR,we planted his garden. The house he is renting has two 4'x 8' raised beds in the back yard. We purchased seed at the Grange co-op from territorial seed company.


We broadcast 2 lettuce mixes, arugula, Oregon bred sugar snap peas, broccoli mix with 4 varieties, and 2 varieties of spinach.





He covered his beds with plastic hoops to warm the soil and protect the young plants from frosty weather. He is on his way to backyard salads.
