I was at a house Thursday to give a lecture to a small garden club in Roswell and got a tour of their gardens afterwards. They had set up a rain collection at two locations using trash cans and watered most of their woodland garden using this. They had a small submersible pump attached to garden hoses. Still labor intensive but their plants really excelled. Here is a begonia of theirs to give you an idea of how well they were keeping things.
