Or if you are handy or have someone handy close by, you could use this method.

Our gardeners over in Jacksonville had a rain barrel making class. We put a spigot down near the bottom and one near the top.

You can attach a hose to either spigot to deliver the water to your plants. The top spigot is for the overflow. I leave a hose on that in the open position all the time leading to a young willow I want to have extra water.

We also cut a top in the barrel to fit the downspout so it doesn't have an open water surface for those pesky biters.
