Installed an additional #WaterButt. We now have #rainwater storage capacity of 1,000l in four butts, which is useful, ecologically sound and satisfying but also a lot less than it sounds.
Upright. Click to see all.

Hey, you've got to start somewhere!

It is immensely satisfying to collect rainwater.

How much space do you have?
If you have lots of space, second-hand IBCs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_bulk_container) are cheap and solid, but aren't as nice to look at!

Just be careful you check what used to be in there! We had to dispose of several tubs of emulsion from the one we bought, but it wasn't a big deal.
