Watering your garden in summer is essential if you want your veges and flowers to be healthy.
But we waste water so often and pay for it dearly in cities. Why not collect enough rainwater in barrels to water your garden? You will not only save money, but rainwater is more beneficial for your plants, as it doesn’t have any additives like fluoride. All you need to do is purchase a barrel – a 200-litre size is a good start – and a downpipe diverter, which you attach to one of your downpipes.
It will divert water into your tank until it is full, then sends the overflow back into the downpipe.
When planning your water tank, be mindful that it is above your garden if possible, so that when you water your plants, gravity will help give you some water pressure.
