DUNKS Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 I put in a shed load of flowering plants a while back for a spectacular display this year and of course I am having to water. Especially the beans and tomatoes. We went onto a water meter a few months ago. OH WELL.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 I started collecting rain water with down pipe butts last year. Great for summer house and watering plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted June 13, 2023 Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 We have 6 water butts collecting rain-water around the garden, fed from various drain-pipes and all interlinked by a hose. Two solar pumps run water from them into drippers on the raised vegetable planters. Fit and forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
