Waterbutt ( Rain Harvesting )

GJ02 · 20 Mar 2011 at 09:03

Just been to the back door for smoke and its ******* down with rain.
Ive decided i'm going to give rain harvesting a go this year,
Does anyone else harvest rain water and use it to water plants in summer etc etc

If you have nothing constructive to add to the thread then don't post in the hope it gets trashed because you think it has potential for something other than what im asking.

[serious answer]

we have a waterbutt, and have used it quite a bit in the past. Your local council may be able to provide one for a decent price, ours was from homebase or b&q, cant remember. Easy enough to fit too.

thanks for that info, didn't realise the council may help, it is recycling after all
