h,i after the cold spell with water so scarce what do members think of rainwater harvesting . yours ponddigger

[Sive]

I think we should be using far more stored rainwater...especially for flushing toilets with. It is absolutely mad that we use treated water for such a purpose. And the same goes for gardening.
But then we will always take water for granted if we don't pay for it........

you are right sive,that why i am installing a 1000 gallon underground rain water system at my house in co tipp ,which includes a pondless waterfall to keep the water circulated.i will post photos of the project next week yours ponddigger

[Sarah Evans]

sounds like a good project and the environmental benefit makes it even more worthwhile. Look forward to your updates. We use rain butts but even at the rate we go through them they fill and spill. So a rain water system may be a future investment

We Keep our roof clean here and collect all our drinking water off it. Run it through a basic Brita filter then mostly boil it for tea. We are not dead yet.
No chlorine make the tea taste so much better too.

hi can any body tell me why this post was moved from water features in ireland including all aspects of water gardening .yours ponddigger

[verge]

Pondigger, it was decided to move it to Sustainable Gardening practices as rainwater harvesting is the gathering, or accumulating and storing, of rainwater.
