Mel recommends sun warmed water - so that the plants are not shocked by any cold water.
It was about time I souped up my water butt - so here it is!
Blocks were added under the butt to aid filling up of watering can.
The new tap fits a hose - so I can take water right to the garden via a hose pipe! Check out the side overflow pipe. Useful for filling up a bucket or something...
Also note that I painted it black. Looks nicer than the bold blue.
Also it will absorb more of the heat of the sun. Sun warmed water is the name of the game here.
Check out the filtering options!
The first layer is a window screen. This is to keep the mosquitoes from getting in and out laying eggs in the water and so on. The last thing I want are more mosquitoes around - they are such a pain!
The second layer is some fence wire. This is in fact a earth sieve. This stops the leaves getting into the barrel and clogging up the tap. As you can see it is already working...
Actual Water Action!
Total butt makeover!
