Counting this as a success. Replaced shed guttering which just dumped water into the lane behind the garden with guttering across both sides, water butt and overflow into our little pond via a buried hosepipe.
Just worked out that to fill it from the tap would cost about 50p so assuming we empty it 5 times a year watering the garden (we also have two others) it'll pay for itself in 50 years.
Damn right, too! We’ve been talking about something like that for ages but never seem to get round to it. Interesting about the overflow going into a pond.
