How well do you work your butt?
Your water butt that is… A survey 3 years ago by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust found that nearly two thirds of gardeners said they had a water butt but only one in 10 make good use of them.
The snow and rain falling in the UK during March can provide a useful supply of water for warmer months when sometimes there is less rain falling – although not always as we saw last summer.
Check out these sites for ideas and advice about installing a water butt in your garden to save all this water falling from the sky at the moment

Debbie - who has written 872 posts on My Climate Change Garden.
I am not an experienced gardener - more of an enthusiastic amateur who learns by trial and error and who is keen to "manage" the effects of shifting weather patterns on my garden.
Writing this blog is my passion and it has evolved over 12 years to inspire engagement with climate change outside our back doors, in our personal gardens and green spaces.
My mission is to fertilise and expand this platform to grow a community of global gardeners communicating about the effects of climate change on our plants and exploring how each individual can make small changes in our lives to become more sustainable.
The future of our gardens and #OurPlanet is in our hands - please plant your own seeds for our collective sustainable future.
