Took me three full weekends to figure out why my rain barrel wasn't filling up

Turns out the downspout diverter I installed was clogged with pine needles from that big tree overhanging my garage, and I only discovered it after buying a new barrel thinking the old one was cracked has anyone else had a diverter fail because of tree debris?

And @barbarahill at least you didn't replace a whole barrel only to find pine needles in the diverter, which is totally what I did.

Wait, are you telling me I didn't need to buy that second barrel?
