Full To The Brim

Returned from a day in London to find one of my water barrels overflowing, full to the brim. I switched the outflow to the new water barrel and a day later this is almost full too. One dustbin to fill and then that's it.

That will be three full water barrels and a dustbin full of rainwater to keep my garden watered as and when it needs it.

The pond is now full as well.

Hello Fellow veggie here,s hopefully a helpful tip if you have two water butts side by side and level to each other put a piece of hose pipe in one so it reaches the bottom then suck the other end so it acts as a syphon, when the water comes through, quickly place it in the second w/butt and then both butts will keep filled to the same level you wil find it does this automatically
just make sure you the butts don,t drain completely or else you will have to create the syphon again.
hope this is helpful. Pete!
