Rainy day addition

Made using recycled plastic and wind energy, this supersmart water butt may be a touch pricey but the top features a recess that doubles as a planter so it blends into your garden beautifully. Simply connect it to your drainpipe using a diverter (not included; about £6 from DIY stores) and it will collect water every time it rains, which you can then use to water your garden.
