Why you should install a water butt
The advantages of using a water butt are numerous.
- Firstly, it helps to reduce the amount of water you use from the mains supply, which can save you money on your water bill.
- Secondly, using a water butt helps to conserve water, which is particularly important in areas that experience drought or have water restrictions in place.
- Additionally, using rainwater collected in a water butt is better for your plants, as it is free from the chemicals found in tap water, such as chlorine.
How to set up a water butt?
Setting up a water butt is easy. Simply place it under a downpipe that collects rainwater from your roof. Most water butts come with a tap or hose connector, which allows you to easily fill up a watering can or attach a hose to water your plants. Once you've installed a water butt, it will continue to provide you with free water whenever it rains.

Water butts come in a range of sizes and styles, so you can choose one that fits your garden and your needs. Some are designed to be discreet and blend in with your garden, while others are more decorative and can even add to the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space.
