    Having installed a water butt to collect rain water, I’m happy that it can be plugged into the pressure washer for car duties, but was looking for a way of pumping the water to water the plants!
    Trying to be eco-friendly, and generally liking to tinker, I was planning on (somehow) connecting this:

    To this (not exact model!):

    And was wondering if anyone has done it at all??

    can you do something with a bicycle pump and pressure (related to pumping water obviously)

    or have you though of putting the water butt up a few feet and using gravity, which is more traditional

    Unless you are talking water tower heights, it’ll make naff all difference to me!
    I want that baby spraying like a fire hose!

    Oh dear I have visions of WCA getting involved and the ensuing catastrophic flooding in the Southampton area…. 🙁

    That would assume that something WCA has ‘made’ would function as it was supposed to…. 😉
