Rain water is just the best for the kitchen garden, potted plants, & all outdoor plants. We need to install a new rain gutter & I can across this nicely designed & attractive rain barrel. However, there is not really any mention of storage during the winter. Does it need to go in the garage? Will it still work, without cracking from cold rain water in the winter. Have not installed it yet for that reason. But it does look nice & in the summer I am certain I will love it.
