Here is an article that shows how to harvest rainwater . This is one of those things that I plan to do someday! For now, we resort to plopping a few buckets out to catch what we can :) . This is a great idea, though. In my own experience, the garden definitely thrives more when watered with rainwater than with what comes from our water hose.
For the even more industrious...I bought a bottle of rainwater (to drink) at a nursery this weekend. Clever gentleman harvests rainwater and then filters it with reverse osmosis (I think that's what it said, well, he filters it nonetheless)....and makes a pretty penny selling it, I'd imagine 
. Sure tasted better than the "mineral water" that comes out of my faucet 
.
Happy Gardening,
