Down spout diverter

[mass_burner]

Has anyone made or sourced a simple or inexpensive way to divert rain water from a common aluminum down spout?

I have some plants in a built-in window box that is under deep eaves, but a downspout is on the end that I'd like to tap into and add a soaker hose to.

Anyone?

It sounds like you want a rain barrel diverter.

Check your local laws regarding rain water collection, in my state it is illegal to collect rain water - this is for everyone's safety lol.... I love when someone tries to tell me what's best for me.

Thanks, I'll try the diy option.

I've always wondered if plants get any significant moisture from the air, especially while its raining- and they're not under the rain obviously.
