Hello!

Is it recommended (disease safe etc) to use stored rainwater for
irrigating vegetable beds? I couldn't guarantee high turnover of the
water in the butts, but that obviously depends on the weather.


Yes

But unless that water butt had better be a big one, because I know how long
it takes to empty a 2,000 gallon tank - it disappears in a couple of decent
watering sessions before needing refilling.
