I'd also suggest building a platform to raise the barrels up higher off the ground and setting them at the same level - you can double the water pressure flowing through your soaker hose that way (or add more overflow barrels beneath to increase your storage capacity).

I would suggest using 1 1/2" plastic pipe to link the two barrels together rather than the 5/8" garden hose you have - during heavy rain the small diamteter hose can't handle the flow coming off the roof and you loose water by overflow somewhere along the line.

Two good suggestions, though the set up works very well now.
