My Global Garden

Summer gardening has just taken on a new dimension this week with the announcement by my local water authority that they are going to charge more for mains water during certain months. Southern Water is to be the first utility company to charge extra to supply water to more than a million customers from 1st June to the end of September.

Rainwater harvesting is a simple and really effective way to do this .It is also an ancient method invented by the Romans and there is a real need to educate people about how useful it is.If you are not sure what rainwater harvesting involves then read this useful Q&A page:
