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!
