Collect rainwater for the garden

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , — TopVeg @ 11:23 am

Most rain water falls in the winter, so now is the time to collect it.
As our climate changes & an increasing proportion of rain falls in
winter, it is becoming cost effective to invest in water storage.

  • Rainwater can be collected, and stored in tubs and other containers,
    from the roof of dwellings, garages, greenhouses etc..
  • Check your local water authority website as they often have offers on
    water butts.
  • Invest in a watering can, it uses less water than a hose.
  • If you prefer to use a hosepipe, fit a trigger nozzle to control the flow.
  • Mulches such as wood chips, bark and gravel help to prevent water
    evaporation and also suppress weed growth, saving you both water and
    time spent weeding.
