It’s weeks like this when you wish you had more than one water butt. Rain, rain and more rain, with only a slight respite on Monday. If you could somehow catch it all you’d be watering for free until June.
I’ve got one butt at the back of the outhouse, and I have another one coming, courtesy of Essex and Suffolk Water. I’m guessing (and hoping) that it doesn’t look like the Butt Butt, the snigger-worthy play on words from Gerardine and Wayne Hemingway. It’s on sale through Ever Greener for £99.95.
It holds a little over 200 litres, comes in a choice of three colours, and has a conveniently-placed tap around the back, which is technically the front. The front, which is technically the back, is flattened to sit flush against the wall. If the front was at the front, then the water would come out of a far more appropriate place, obviously, but it would somewhat ruin the butt pun.
I wonder if you could get a butt plug if it starts to leak.
