Water butts

Did you know that 90,000 litres of rainfall onto a typical roof in any one year, that’s enough to fill 473 water butts!  Capture rainfall all year round by placing a water butt by sheds, greenhouses and conservatories.  Afterall, rainwater is much better for your plants and saves drinking water too.
