I only recently learned of the nitrification of rainwater via lightning. like literally in the past week! I'm curious to know more about PFAS and other forever chemicals contaminating rain water and what effects they may have on plants, soil microbiology, and ourselves (as well as all of nature in general.

In my area, it is kind of illegal to harvest rainwater. I am guessing that it is because since I live to close to the major city (metropolitian) the rainwater is more acidic than water. I wish I could collect it because my plants could use it when winter is over.

We harvest from nearly every inch of roof space. Metric numbers are 1mm of rain on one square metre of roof is one litre. We have the first flush for the house water and a filter when it comes into the kitchen. All up on the house and sheds we store 25000+ litres.

What needs to be different in this setup if I live in a below freezing climate 5 months out of the year? Do I have to drain everything and do without rainwater all winter? It's a challenge to guess when it will freeze.

I live in zone 7a it snows/freezes here. should I worry about the barrels braking? Also I have a composite roof should I worry about watering the garden with this type of roof? Thank you for all you do

Would you say the size of your tank is good for how much rain you receive? Would you go bigger or smaller? I m also in CA so same rain amounts and trying to assess what size tank is best

Could you explain what the main benefits and downsides between a raincapture-system and a groundwaterfed system are?

absolutely love this but if it's raining enough to overfill your tanks, wouldn't all your plants have received enough water at that point?

Wondering if you chose copper for a reason other than esthetics? ( I've heard copper and water can interact in a good way )
