Re: [APD] Rain barrels safe?

[John Brekken <jbrekken1 at yahoo_com>]

Not sure what your rain barrel is like, but you can
sometimes find food grade plastic barrels at feed and
tack or hardware stores.  30-55 gallon. $18-40 if
available.  I usually test newly cleaned barrels with
excess guppies or mosquitofish and see if they
survive.  -John
