We found using new garbage cans with lids put at the corners of the back of the house to catch water from the gutters was our best way to save water. We ran the gutters short and put a flexible section on the end to route it to a hole in the lid we cut for the gutter flex section. This kept mosquitoes from breeding in our rain water and kept it from evaporating. We seldom needed to use the hose to water all our newly planted trees as well as veggie garden.
