How to fit a water butt in your garden

One great way of saving water in your garden is by collecting rainwater with a water butt, and although fitting a water butt may seem complicated at first, it's actually much easier than you'd expect. Rainwater harvesting comes with many benefits, not only are you saving and re-using water, but rainwater is also much better for your flowers and vegetables.

When installing a water butt, please make sure you follow the diverter kit instructions as kits may vary, and don’t worry if you have a round or square downpipe there are attachments for both that you can fit. Always remember, your safety comes first, be careful when using tools.
