Rain barrels:  use what nature provides to water your plants!

Take advantage of the water nature gives us.  Using a rain barrel or cistern to collect rainwater can lower your water bill, be good for your plants, and protect the environment by reducing runoff from your property.

The N.C. Cooperative Extension – Onslow County Center rain barrels are made using repurposed food-grade barrels, so they also help with “reduce, reuse, and recycle”.  The completed rain barrels come with a brass faucet, an overflow pipe, and screened water inlet.  All fittings are cut to fit, there is no epoxy or glue used so it will last for years.

The fee per rain barrel is $70.  The sale of these rain barrels serves as a fundraiser for some of our Extension programs.  Please stop by our office to see and purchase the rain barrels.  Sales are first-come, first-served and will continue until the supply is sold.  Call (910) 455-5873 if you have any questions.
