Be Prepared ... place your order now

As every gardener knows, it’s best to be prepared. We plan our sowing, buying our seeds months in advance, we dig fertilisers into our soil to prepare the ground; we install automatic openers on our windows so our plants don’t fry in the heat of the summer ...

As news of the hosepipe bans continue, it seems like every gardener is preparing now so their plants don’t have to suffer in the summer months ... and that means getting a water butt or two into the garden.

With sales soaring, manufacturers are telling us they are working flat out to keep up with the massive increase in demand. Delivery lead times have had to be extended – with orders taking 2-3 weeks to arrive from manufacturers.

So, my advice is, get your order in now and be patient ... Even if you have to wait a couple of weeks for delivery, you’ll still have time to get it fitted and collecting rainwater before you’ll need to use the water in your garden.
