This was from the condensation only, so managed to get supply from that, - now have several which capture the rain and use them as my "free water", and have planted vegies around so that I dont have to lug the water too far around the yard. Cant afford a huge tank because am renting, but thought that a 40 gallon drum might capture that precious resource just as good ????
