'David WE Roberts[_2_ Wrote:

The lawn is still parched.
The water butt is full.

It has occurred to me that perhaps I should keep half emptying the water

butt and chucking the water on the grass so I don't waste the water
coming
off the roof.

Any downside to this strategy?
[Apart from doing it whilst it is still raining.]



If I think rain is coming, I fill all my watering cans, so that there is
at least some room in the butts. Wouldn't waste water on a lawn though
;-)


Pending the revolution, lawn is mostly what I have at the moment.
Rumour has it that it shouldn't be straw coloured :-(
