Very interesting SQWIBBER, thanks for posting all the pics!
I have wanted to do rainwater harvesting, and we had access to many 250 gallon totes for free, but husband thinks it would look ugly. Doesn't matter as we live on a private road out in the woods, but his subdivision-reared sensibilities and my creative urges clash all the time. I think I would be much further along in my permaculture goals if it wasn't for this dissonance.
I am trying to implement more innocuous additions, a little at a time, but it is very slow going and too much of it feels like an uphill battle.
