Installing a water butt is a terrific way to make your garden more sustainable – and save you pounds on your water bill.

I love this 150 litre beehive-style butt from Sankey. Connect it to a downpipe and you’re ready to go.

I found it for €56.42 at amazon.co.uk but the stand and filler kit will cost extra.

You will be amazed just how quickly these fill up, even after a little rain. And your plants will enjoy the rainwater instead of the tap stuff.
