We have a couple of rain barrels set up. DH made them from old apple juice concentrate and pickle barrels They work well, although hauling buckets got really old last year. This year, we added a small electric in-line transfer pump that allows us to pump water to the garden.

I should add that we just use it for watering the garden. I really should figure out how to put some kind of in-line filter in place and use the rainwater for washing cars, bikes, and the dog...
