So much for the water shortage! Unfortunately, the lovely summer sun has vanished and has been replaced by the constant rain in the typical British theme. Now can be a fantastic time to take advantage of the rainy weather by investing in a water butt that collects the falling water from your drainpipes and feeds it into your growing room.
This can be a fantastic way to harvest the power of mother nature's rainfall, and it can cut down on the water that you use from the taps, thereby reducing your water usage. This is critical as the hosepipe ban has now come into effect in large parts of Britain, and by not exceeding your allowed water amount you steer clear of getting a hefty fine.
