Here's my dilemma...
Put 300 Gallon stock tanks up on stilts and have gutters on my barn leading into the tanks to allow me to reuse the rain water and "go green."
Got the barn roof and angle of the gutters (half one way half the other) down to a perfect science to the point when I get 1 1/2" of rain, the tanks are full!
BUT, the dang mosquitos! It's next to impossible to make the tanks airtight...
Anyone else reuse their runoff and any ideas to prevent the mosquitos from breeding? The tank water is used to water the garden and trees. Thought about 1 cup bleach per tank which personally I don't think will kill either the vegetables or trees due to the dilution but wife begs to differ! Any Ideas Whatsoever?
