UK Gardener's Smart Rainwater Harvesting Tip: Maximizing Every Drop

Rainwater Harvesting: A Gardener's Smart Tip for Stormy Weather In the UK, a gardener known as Simplify Gardening is sharing their clever approach to maximizing rainwater collection. With recent storms bringing heavy rainfall, the gardener is using a simple method to ensure their IBC tanks are full and ready for drier periods. The technique involves transferring water from IBCs not directly connected to a roof system to those that are. This clever approach ensures no rainwater is wasted. "Quick tip for stormy weather!" explains Simplify Gardening in their video. "I’m moving water to my full IBC tanks that aren’t connected to a roof system, so I can free up space in the tanks that are letting them catch every drop from the rainstorms rolling in." This method, they say, "keeps the garden thriving and maximizes every rainfall." The video shows the gardener using a pump to move the water between the tanks. This simple yet effective method highlights the importance of efficient water management in gardening, particularly in areas prone to periods of both heavy rain and drought. The video also demonstrates the importance of planning and having sufficient water storage for a garden's needs. By sharing their practical technique, Simplify Gardening provides valuable insight for fellow gardeners looking to improve their water harvesting practices.
