Water butts collect the rainwater from off your roof which you can use to water your plants. The plants love it as it's natural and not-treated. You'll love it as you save money and you'll not be wasting drinking water. No Ifs, just Butts. Get one today and start harnessing the free resource we have so much of here in our corner of the Northern Hemisphere - rain!
In Kildare my own Country Council sells, I think 130l water butts at cost-price, €40 - with same models in home-ware stores for thrice that.
Check to see if your local Council provides before investing elsewhere!
Same is true of compost bins in Ireland.
I have one large barrel at one of the down pipes and two buckets at the other once, The plants do much better with non-chlorinated water and whats more my dogs won't drink tap water, so they just go to the buckets!
