I'm on board with the rain barrel concept - and I think if I raised it a couple of feet above the elevation of the garden, it would generate decent pressure sticking a valve at the bottom. Would need to do some math about the pressure needed to feed drip lines. But if I'm not mistaken, rain barrels generally feed from gutters that feed from a roof. I need something wider, which is where the RainSaucer concept came in. Maybe I could DIY something out of a tarp.
