Am I missing something?<br /><br />I'm afraid what we really need is a big cistern.

Anyway I think "rigging" things up is the country way (unless of course you really know what you're doing) and after all the point is getting the job done to suit you. Even if you wanted to spend the money on "the expensive stuff" this is much better for the plants. Congratulations on thinking country!TryingHardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598084690617343428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-22955220699448560762009-05-04T16:16:00.000+02:002009-05-04T16:16:00.000+02:00You'll find plenty of similar rain barrels around ...You'll find plenty of similar rain barrels around left-leaning, liberal, green, tree-hugging Portland.A Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066992019067893513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17913552.post-59376157865799428752009-05-04T10:39:00.000+02:002009-05-04T10:39:00.000+02:00My sister and B-i-L live in an area of Australia w...My sister and B-i-L live in an area of Australia where you are not allowed to water your garden unless you are using rainwater (they wish!) or grey water. They use homemade system that looks a bit clumsy, but works really well. They found that gravity just didn't provide enough of a feed from the water collection barrel, so they bought a little submersible electric pump with a pipe and a hose fitting at the top. It is fantastically successful and means that they can water their garden whenever they wash their clothes. They use an old stocking to filter the water so the pump doesn't clog and the pump has an automatic cut out when the water level drops below submerging it. If they don't use the water within 24 hours they have to tip it down the drain because it develops a pong. I'm hoping to rig up something similar in Preuilly.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
