Despite having one of the wettest summers on record last year and quite a wet spring we have already been warned to use water carefully, meaning many people’s gardens may have to go without water. Thankfully though you can keep your plants and fruit and veg well watered using a water butt. Not only are water butts a great way to keep your garden well-watered during a water shortage, but they’re also a great way to same some money while helping the environment. Water bills have increased dramatically over the past couple of years, so it just makes sense to utilise rain water to help take care of your garden. Some models of power washers can also be attached to water butts, meaning you can save money and clean your drive, decking, paths, garden furniture and more with rain water during a hosepipe ban. If you have a large garden and / or want to connect a power washer to your water butt or use rainwater to wash your car, you may want to think about increasing your storage capacity by buying more than one water butt. If you wish to connect your water butts together, two water butts can be easily connected to each other using a water butt connector. You can make great savings on 250l, 210l and 100l water butts which we sell as a complete set which come with a stand, filler kit and tap or you can buy your water butts and accessories separate.
