Tried a rain barrel setup after a neighbor in Eugene showed me his, and my summer water bill dropped by $31
Last June I finally hooked one up to my downspout after watching him fill his garden all season without touching the hose. Anyone else running two barrels instead of one, and does the second one actually fill worth a damn?

My dad ran a single barrel for years and I always figured a second one was a waste since the first never even filled all the way. Then I saw my neighbor's setup in Eugene with two linked together and the second one filled just fine, maybe a little slower but it got there. The trick was he put the second barrel on a small stand so the water levels out between them, and by mid summer both were full after one good storm. I ended up adding a second one myself and I get about twice the water now, which matters when July hits and the garden is thirsty. So yeah, I was wrong about it being pointless.
