Debbieo,

Very good. I remember something about making sure the bleach was unscented and the like.

Thanks for that.

The reason the places say clorox is just to be sure you use pure bleach, not one with add ins like scent and such, so any bleach would do.

Hi Manette,

When we were first doing this I read somewhere that it needed to be Clorox (maybe it was the Clorox site :) ). At any rate, I have seen other Web sites now that don't specify Clorox only and actually mention other brands; so perhaps any bleach is ok. However, please use the bleach properly and at your own risk.

I've modified our post to reflect this too.

Also, we could indeed enclose the shed roof and use it as a storage facility if we wanted. The point is that you can catch water off of just about anything (especially things like roofs), and so folks here try to do just that, even off of goat sheds and outhouses.

Very, very cool. I love the "first-flush" diverter. I have read about water harvesting, but have never known anyone to really do it. Can you use your shed as a pole barn also? I didn't know that about clorox, I thought that bleach was bleach...
