Rainwater Receptacle?

Building on Art's exciting announcement that the water in our garden area has been fixed, I'd like to share a link about another (potential) watering source.

At the garden this weekend, a few of us discussed how great it would be if we were to collect rainwater to help water our plants. Someone mentioned (Milena?) that the 61st Street community garden had something like this, where they would collect the water, then float watering cans on the top for people to scoop out water as needed. If anyone is in contact with some of the gardeners there (or former gardeners---I don't know if that space is still available for use), and could get more info, that would be terrific.

I found this site which shows how to create a watering receptacle from rainwater. It might not be a perfect fit, but if a few of us feel handy, I think that we have several of the supplies already, based on the inventory discovered during the garden clean-up.

Thoughts? Check out the link, and let's get a discussion started.
