Landscape fabric makes a good, durable filter across the top of the
rain barrel. I put tarp clips in the corners to hang it up to hose off
the pollen and other roof and gutter crud. It didn't pass water until
I sprayed some soap on it.

Cool.

A section of flex downspout directs the water out onto the cloth, and
is easily moved out of the way to clean the filter or pump out water.
In the winter I can remove the barrels and redirect the flex spout
downwards.

Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And
you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the
question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers
does it take to change a lightbulb.
