This is my mum's water butt

In fact she has another 4 behind the garage

My grandfather, my mum's father, was a market gardener and so my mum grew up growing fruits and vegetables

Here are 10 reasons why you need a big butt as well! 🙃

1. Fresh water is a precious resource

2. A sprinkle of rainwater is similar to a light dose of fertiliser

3. Rainwater is 100% soft on plants

4. Water butt harvesting saves money if you’re on a water meter

5. Rainwater is naturally pH balanced for healthier plants

6. A water butt reduces your home’s carbon footprint

7. Water butts cut pressure on other fresh water resources

8. Water butts support the recycling industry

9. Water butts are quick and easy to install, and last for many years

10. Councils now subsidise water butts by 60% or more

It really is time to get a big butt!
