    Brilliant Terry you are a genius at repurposing items like the wheelbarrow handle to your pump. Great video thanks Terry and take care

    That blue is my favourite colour. It's great to capture so much water and save 💰. Nice setup and flow system

    Hiya Terry you are very lucky to get those barrels from work i would love some of them, i did have 3 water butts each one filling the next one and when the last one was full the rain water then went down the drain. I end up with cracked water butts because of the sun that eventually start leaking then i have to take em off and try and use them for something else, if not then it's chucked i do keep all the taps and fittings they are very useful to keep, same as you have done.
    Stay Safe,
    Barry (Wirral)

      I am always looking for new resources Barry and a few more barrels will finish my needs and yes I know how lucky I am to get them and I have given away anything that didn't match the ones that I have now. Keep your eyes peeled.

    What a super fantastic water system Terry and shhh don’t give them any ideas about pricing too low 😂😂. We are due 70 to 80 km winds here tonight so I’ll be battening down the hatches. Have a fantastic weekend 🐝 safe

    What a useful tip. I have one Water butt leaking so it may be a faulty tap. I will check that and now I even know where to buy it.
    Ta very much Terry. Best gardening wishes Malgosia and Nigel 🌱😊🌱

    The wheelbarrow handle is pretty genius, the fact that you've "aquired" 5-6 barrows, I'd assume you didn't pay for it ;)

    Very good, would a 12v Caravan water pump work for moving water on as well?

    • @terrykingsallotmentgardening
      @terrykingsallotmentgardening  2 года назад +2

      That was one of the first 2nd hand pumps that I used on my allotment and worked well for a while. Bulge pumps are more resilient.

    You may get a good price on a tap by being patient, but I am still waiting for the payoff for my procrastination! It doesn’t seem to work as well for me… Lol.
