you with a valuable soil improver for your garden, but it also
helps reduce the amount of organic waste you might send to landfill
each week.

Water butts
Don’t let rain water go down the
drain!
Water butts can collect rainwater from
the roof of your house, shed, greenhouse or garage. It is a great
way of having a free source of water for your garden plants,
washing the car or even the dog!
There are several styles and sizes
of butts to choose from. Most come with taps and have a rain
diverter kit, stand and lid available. It is possible to fit a
downpipe directly into the butt, however, you would also need an
overflow pipe. If you fit a rain diverter, these divert water from
the drainpipe into the butt until it is full, when it then flows
down the drainpipe. You need to ensure the diverter kit is the
correct size for your drainpipe.
Contact your local garden centre or home improvement store.
There are also a number of suppliers of water butts on-line.
