Make the most of April Showers by installing a water butt
If you don't already have one, installing a water butt to harvest rainwater from roofs and guttering can save on your water bill. It also guarantees you an excess supply in the summer.
Collecting water is also the preferred choice for gardeners as it is more beneficial for your plants. Tap water goes through filtration and refining to make it safe for human consumption; however, adding chemicals such as chlorine, salts, and minerals is not so favourable for plants. Rainwater contains nitrates and other organic matter that feeds plants and has a slightly acidic pH, which most plants prefer.
