The higher up you can locate the water butt
the better the pressure will be. If you have a long hosepipe run or maybe some part of the garden is a bit higher than base of the water butt you won't get the water to flow.
It can get a bit tedious
lugging watering cans around every day. My water butt is about the same height as Realspeed's and I have the outlet on an
timer tap, so everyday the plants that need water are fed even if I forget
of coarse just recently the water butts have been
empty so I switch to
tap water. Hope we get some rain soon because it's
much better for the plants.
