ngdawg, your setup sounds efficient and easy to manage.
I know of a greenhouse that has an ingenious water catchment system - though not collecting rain water. The greenhouse has a sloped floor that collects the water in a corner, and pipes direct it to a cisturn with a hose/misters hooked up. It tends to run into problems with salt, though. Fertilizers used in that greenhouse are not organic, but soluble and salt-based. You need to flush out the system every now and again with fresh water to avoid salt buildup.
