O/T Drought

[Sclox]

Installed a wall mounted water butt in my back garden at the weekend so i'm relying less on mains water to water my garden.

160 litres but i've bought five 25 litre plastic jerry cans for extra capacity / to store



This is a good site for anyone looking into getting one:

Great idea. Not an eco warrior but reckon water companies should be onto offering the like if this free as standard IMO.

I know being green is important but fk me, I wonder whats the point in me recycling my straws and yoghurt pots when you see places like China and India throwing up coal fired powerstations every other day.

I've ordered a collapsible water tank for £50 today which is 380 litres, the idea being to store water for the drier months.

I agree, it would be good if water companies could at least offer discounts on water tanks/butts so people would be less reliant on mains water. Hosepipe bans would be less likely then too. Most people are struggling to heat/eat so it's probably not a priority for them right now to buy a tank/butt
