I want to get some rain barrels and QUICK!!!

My godfather/uncle used rain water to water his garden (close to 100 ft square) with ONLY rainwater he collected from only one half of his garage.
He had 4 barrels set up side by side with a hose linking each barrel to the one next to it for self-leveling of water levels.
The last barrel had a spigot to attach a hose to, and the water pressure from those barrels and a 3-4 ft drop in elevation over the entire garden provided enough force to spray the water with a spray nozzle.

I repeat: "I want some rain barrels!"

I am a legend in my own mind!

Get them free at most car washes. 30 or 50 gallon
