Harvest rainwater in style...

Well it wouldn't be Summer if we didn't see a downpour of rain every now and then now would it!? We can't complain, it means there's no need to get out those hosepipes and spend an hour of our days going round the garden (although actually we really enjoy it!!) But we hope you're making the most of this rainwater by recycling and saving for a dry day? Did you know the average house roof sheds a massive 45,000 litres of water each year!? This means 25% of the water we currently use could be harvested from our roofs!! The simplest way that we can all capture rainwater is to have diverters on your downpipes and feed into water butts. Thing is, your typical water butts picked up from local DIY stores are pretty ugly to say the least, almost all coming in that nasty green colour making it stick out in your garden like a sore thumb!! SO Aralia has found some lovely alternatives, so that you can help the earth, and still have a beautiful garden...













If you would like to order one of these fabulous water butts, or would simply like to know more, get in touch - info@aralia.org.uk / 01279 730040
