#Waterbutt number two is full...already.

I know we've had a lot of rain lately, but holy shit.

I had better get another, I guess.

I've already filled #waterbutt number one (100L) in just the past fortnight, so number two is on the way (230L).

Apparently we're having all of the rain, right now.

I like full butts and I cannot lie @davidoclubb

Installed an additional #WaterButt. We now have #rainwater storage capacity of 1,000l in four butts, which is useful, ecologically sound and satisfying but also a lot less than it sounds.
Upright. Click to see all.

Scotland is so used to regular rain that even a fairly short dry spell can start to cause significant problems: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jun/10/concern-over-loch-ness-low-water-levels-amid-uk-dry-spell We need to slow the water running off the hills (and gardens), not just to reduce flooding, but also so that we keep rainwater available for longer into droughts. #Scotland #Drought #Rain #ClimateCrisis #WaterButt
