This is a very easy cover! Great idea instead of building a box 👍
That's a great system! I love the cover design and your garden is gorgeous!
So nice of you, thanks Amy!
I like the diversion portion!
This is what I am planning to do.
AMAZING... what I would not give to have a system like this!! ♥️
Love the diversion idea! I have 3 months of deep freeze to worry about too! And I’m definitely stealing the tank facade idea 🫡
This is an amazing design thank you for sharing this I'm going to go off red very soon and we're looking for some property in South Carolina and this is an amazing water catchment system I can't wait I have been watching and looking at everything that I can find on the permaculture movement and everything and honestly I grew up pretty much doing this without knowing what it was cuz of my grandmother and my grandfather thank you so much thank you so so much for helping God bless
Our pleasure! Best of luck :)
As someone who lives in SC I hate it here, but I hope you have a much better experience dude!
Cool thanks for sharing this 💯💯👍👍
Thanks for watching!
The cover looks so nice!
I like that siding on it. Its a great idea!
This is cool, things that pertains to gardening I find very fascinating...tx 4 sharing ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! :)
@@VergePermaculture Could you please show how to set up a much smaller scale one for say just one tank?
Nice system 👍🏻
wow just wow
Very nice..
Do you have more details about the plumbing into the tanks, showing how you spill the water across multiple tanks?
Yes, I like to see a more detail and longer video of how you do all that. I am new at this and need help with more details of the set up. Thank you.
The tops of the totes should be protected from sunlight.
They know.
@@part-timeprep5932
Honestly, they might not. Protection from sun will certainly affect d to the life of the plastic as well as improve water quality...
You can see that they added the black poly covering the tote to protect it and to stop sunlight into the water causing algae bloom. It’s actually a white UV treated poly tank underneath.
@@b_uppy but you are correct that they should add a protective roof as well and it would go from awesome to next level!

Looks like only the sides are covered with the black poly. The tops still look uncovered. Think the black poly was for esthetic purposes.
Pretty Cool!
When you removed the panel, I noticed you don’t have the tanks interconnected via the tote valve at the bottom. How are your tanks connected? I imagine there is a pvc pipe that feeds them from the top, but how do you use the water from the tote? Clearly it’s not going to run OUT the top… I think I’m missing something… I LOVE the panels and will be making something similar for mine…
That shit is serious. Nice
Very cool
Fabolous
How long can you store this water for?
Could it be captured in February and stored for use in July?
It doesn't go "bad" if that's what you're asking. Depends on your climate. Freezing water will tend to break containers and pipes so be careful. Insulating or storing water underground is an option but may raise the cost. The example in the video is seasonal.
@@cupbowlspoonforkknif What about only fill the tank halfful for winter so that it has room for expansion, would that help with water freezing and not break containers. I have 6 of them side by side. Still trying to figure out how to set them all up as I am new at this. Thank you.
What did you use for wrapping your totes ?
Bug Hotel!
Not so. The tanks are sealed and to the best of my knowledge, there's a filter at the pipe openings, to keep the bugs out...
What state are you in?
Alberta, Canada!
Nice system.👍
