I tried to set up a siphon this year from a water butt that is slightly more elevated than my plot. Worked once and never again, was considering getting the Lomo bilge pump to help start it off but then it started raining and never stopped.
Anyway, when I looked in to it, turned out hosepipes are banned in all forms under our rules. But then again it also said no one should enter the site after sunset which definitely happens.

I like the sound of that. I’ve also been considering trying to do some sort of gravity fed drip system from a water butt to take care of our seedlings and maybe a bed but no idea where to start.
So is it a solar powered pump/timer? Presume it runs from a butt not mains water?
