We are probably moving down this summer/fall and have thought of installing a rain barrel off one of the back corner downspouts (in a CYV - probably wouldn't pass muster without the courtyard fence) and connect that to some kind of a drip system for watering. Anyone done this?

It's probably more than we could do ourselves (we're not all that handy) but am curious if anyone else has tried this and would like to know if you did it yourself or what contractor you used. Doesn't seem like all that big a job, but can't quite figure out how you'd irrigate the planting areas that are separated by grass or patio concrete from the rain barrel.
