Hello,
I connected all of my rain barrels with pvc pipe and only one of the connections is leaking. Does anyone know of any type of glue or any idea on how to fix it without draining the water? The leak isn't enough to empty the barrel or anything, but it does get the ground saturated around it. I appreciate any suggestions or help.

put a bucket or pan under it and just keep dumping it back in the barrel. How long do you think it would take to fill a 6 or 8 qt. pan? Then after the season, repair the leak the right way.
