2. This is what I did

On a very small scale. I got a nice clean 55 gallon drum, cut off the top and then attached a two headed spigot to it. Next up grabbed my old beat up hoses, use utility knife to piece holes along the hoses, attach to the spigot on the drum. Dig trench between vegetables in my garden, lay down hose, cover with dirt. This would never work for a whole yard, but it was great for a small garden. I filled up the drum about half way to start and then let the rain collect for the rest. When my veggies looked thirsty I would open the spigot, when we received enough rain just kept it closed. I live in the midwest so we do get rain, but we also have extreme heat in the summer, enough that most gardeners are out every AM watering the plants.
