275 Gallon Water Totes for Rain Harvesting Project

I purchased 4, 275 gallon water totes this last week for my rain harvesting system. That is a total of 1100 gallons I will be able to store at any given time.

I will be using the water from these totes for:

1. Gardening water
2. Emergency water storage

These Totes originally carried Agave. So I will first harvest the Agave that I can and then set up the system. I will not be cleaning out the tanks before I build the harvesting system. The Agave will give my plants a little boost of sugar.

Agave found in the tanks:

Note: Did you know that I amounts of sugar in your plants will help to prevent freeze. Interesting...
