Nearly ten years of this and I may be about to write the most boring post yet. Here goes.
We had a water butt installed earlier this year, attached to our conservatory. It seemed the right thing to do, collect our own water for when the garden plants needed it and also save money and resources. It probably is the right thing to do but it hasn't worked as planned.
The conservatory roof is so good at funnelling the water that the butt fills up too quickly. We have a couple of trough overflows but now we have too much water. We need to get rid of it.
We've moved on from buckets (I was fed up with looking like Mickey Mouse in the Sorcerer's Apprentice bit of Fantasia) and now have a hose attachment which we can run from the water butt to empty it down a storm drain in between heavy downpours.
If you've made it this far, well done.
I searched for songs with hose in the title and found Hose Water by American country music singer Dillon Carmichael. I listened to a bit of it, it's not my thing. And I don't think drinking the water out of our hose will be Mr Carmichael's thing. There's leaves and moss and some sort of worms in it and that's just what I can see.
