Water butts

Collecting rainwater in a water butt to use on your garden can save litres of treated tap water.

They can store run-off from roofs of houses, greenhouses and sheds, fit neatly against walls and can be placed near vegetable beds to make watering easy.

Please note

It may be difficult to fit a rain diverter kit to a cast iron down pipe.

Although the installation method is similar to that of the plastic kind, the correct hacksaw will be required to cut into cast iron pipes.

Consult your local DIY store for further advice.
