For now Norman.....for now. ;-)
Thank U very much 4 that, information. Was very, helpful. Happy Gardening! 🤑!
Hi Jeff, rain is the best water supply for our plants. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊
It really is Christine! 🙂
I studied this, this past winter then bought a rain barrel (with mesh topper, garden hose and hose to prevent water overflow😊)
Thank you for addressing this!
Nice! Did you notice a change in your plants? How big volume wise was your barrel?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I grew them from seed and the rainwater encouraged them to germinate fast and sprout even faster!
The rain barrel is the FCMP Outdoor RC4000-BRN 50-Gallon. Totally cool!
Thank you for replying!!💚 Your channel rocks!
@@lovinmytunes05 that's so awesome. Seedlings and rainwater is such a gane changer.... It's almost a hack!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 💯 ‼️You are RIGHT
Great info and explanation. One of your best videos yet. The extra minute and thirty seconds were well worth it! Thanks.
Thanks!! It was so dang hard to get this one to 2 minutes, ha ha! Need to work on that!
yep -- i dont mind the longer video..as long as its quality content that gets to the point. great video!@@TheRipeTomatoFarms
I love this! God's rain is perfect. I love watching everything say ahhh after a good rain, just like we do. :) We tried to capture rain water in an IBC tote for drier times to avoid using the garden hose, but I didn't like that it was made of plastic as well as the tube, and diverter, etc. Also it is really windy at times here in 6a and it would blow the cover off repeatedly or rip it to shreds if it held on. Then there was the bad bacteria from the plastic and the sunlight. What a nightmare. We gave that to a neighbor after we had a well dug, so we could have natural water to our barn, gardens, chicken coops, and goat yard. I am telling you, my plants are responding so favorably to the natural PH, mineral content, lack of chlorine and other chemicals, and it is consistent water quality. It is cold, clear, and tastes amazing.
Great video yes we have rain barrels so really use them a lot to water plants
That's awesome! Do you know what size you are using?
Great Video!!! Thank You For Help Making My Garden As GREAT Garden! XXXOOOO
Thanks Tracy....but that's all YOU! 🙂
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms No My Friend YOU. Thank You Dearly!!!
I have rain barrels for those drought periods. Last year, I only used my rain barrels for watering and Mother Nature's Tears, and I had a great crop.
Been gardening many moons, and to this day I ask myself,’did I water too much, not enough? Oh, well. I’ll just keep trying, and watching you. Keep ‘em comin’.
Oh yeah Jim.....that's the one question that will never go away!
Hello Jeff, I know its been a while since I’ve commented. BUT, once again you have hit the nail on the head with the rain. I watch a lot of different CZcams channels, but you’re the one I go too to get the info I need and know I can trust. Thanks for the great advice.
Thanks buddy, hope all is well in your world!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms so far so good. Lol
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thanks Ronnie! 🙂
After all the rain we had in England last week my two water butts are full again. And don't shot me but it should be Effect not Affect in the title. The rain is the action/effect which affects the plants.
Great stuff as always! Love this channel
Thank you! 😅
Good one!
Man I was listening to some Lofi music while looking at your thumbnail for this video and it felt relaxing. Hopefully someone can make a video of a rainy day in a green lushed garden with lofi in the background lol.
Interesting!
Nature is the best!
QUESTION JEFF……When you collect rain water from gutter pipes…don’t you get some particles from the roof shingles? 🇨🇦
Slightly acidic, low TDS water is best for humans as well.
You got that right!

Does anyone add coffee grounds to their tote (or bucket) fermenting compost tea? Its a natural source of nitrogen. Just curious how much. Last year I filled a plastic bin with compost and watered the garden with it. We drink a lot of coffee so have a ton of coffee grounds, plus eat bannanas (throw in the skins for the K). And boil the bones and crush them for the P. Thats our workaround since we dont have manure, and dont have a composting toilet or outhouse. I throw everything onto a huge pile and let nature do her thing. Probably should turn it but is a hella lotta work and got other things (like weeding!!) to do.
Effects of rain.
Lightning increases the nitrogen level when it rains, even more so than rain without lightning.
Nature rules!
@TheRipeTomatoFarms I am actually wearing a t-shirt right now that says Nature Rocks.
Can you look at the toxins /run off of the asphalt shingles?
Definitely something to be aware of.....
Greetings, Sir. Is there any reason to be concerned with rainwater collected from roof gutters? Thank you!
I'd love to do an in-depth chemical analysis of it....I always wondered the same thing.
Our rain is definitely not pure anymore 🛬 ✈ but it still is the best. Before I had rain barrels, I had much less production with using tap water. Rain totes are great investment. I use 95% collected rain water for my veggie gardens the last couple years and it makes a huge difference. I REALLY notice the boost after a thunderstorm. Something about a thunderstorm makes plants just take off over night.
I believe the thunderstorm actually adds the nitrogen into the rainwater. I think I heard that someplace.
For sure Deb! The difference is unmistakable.
@@meljordan220 100% correct Mel! Its the lightning that does it.
@@meljordan220 i have heard that too! I love a good thunderstorm after everything's planted haha. Just no hail
