Water water everywhere




I have finally finished the rainwater storage system for the greenhouses and (soon to be) shed on plot 2. We can now save just over 45000 litres of rainwater in 3 IBC;s and 6 blue barrels. All are interlinked so overflow will not go to waste, but into the next recepticle. the final overflow will run into the wildlife pond to keep it topped up.
As hosepipe bans affected the South last year, they may creep up to us here in the midlands this year so having plenty of water on hand can only be a good thing. Especially with having greenhouses and tunnels.0
