Thousands of litres of rainwater fall on the average roof every year. Collecting this water and using it on your garden is better for your lawn and plants as well as the environment. Other points to consider: (1) Fit a lid to stop leaves collecting or small animals falling in and drowning (2) If you want to collect more water than can be stored in one butt, it's possible to get a connector kit to link up two or more. healthy composted soil will retain moisture and nutrients, choosing drought-tolerant plants means your garden needs less water, planting new shrubs and trees through plastic helps to retain moisture and control weeds, loose mulches (such as wood bark or coarse home compost) around established plants stop water evaporating.
