What Is The Best Tool For Your Garden? A Rain Barrel!
Camels Hump Rain Barrels will be offering rain barrels for the discounted price of $75 each at the White Clay Creek Fest on May 2nd!
Our barrels are created from recycled olive barrels and include:
- a fully screened lid to prevent insects and debris from entering your barrel
- two overflow ports to allow you to better control excess water
- a spigot to allow easy filling of a watering can as well as a bottom drain threaded for a garden hose to enable you to get the most out of your barrel.
- Each barrel is 220 liters or nearly 55 gallons and will be full after a quarter inch of rain when hooked up to a downspout
For more information please visit http://www.camels-hump.com/

This will not obligate you to purchase a barrel and will also not guarantee availability but will allow us to plan how much inventory we bring to help assure anyone who is interested can get one.
