How do I make the most of 50 gallons?

50 gallons of rainwater can go a long way to improve your plants life. Most tap water contains disolved salts and minerals. These salts can build up in the soil over time. This build up can cause your plants roots to be inefficient or reduce their depth. Using rainwater periodically will help to push the salts farther down into the soil, allowing your pants roots to grow deeper and be more effective absorbing nutrients.
