Hello! I collected my first batch of rain water yesterday with my open top rain barrel (covered with screen to keep out insects). I actually got around 13 gallons with only a light shower. However, as I'm not familiar with this method, is it unusual that the water is kind of brownish-yellowish?? I thought some of it might be from the blooms off the oak trees since there's apparently still some falling. This wasn't the first rain of the season, so I expected the roof to be pretty clean.
I've had one of my nepenthes get water straight off the roof once or twice, and it's still growing fine. But for vfts?
