Hose Pipe Ban – How To Water Your Garden 

Water By Hand

You are still able to use a watering can or bucket filled from a tap.

We have a good range of watering cans in stock.

No ifs, just butts

Although we haven’t had much rain recently…every drop helps!

Collecting rainwater off your roof into a water butt is a great way to save water. And your plants prefer fresh rain over treated water!

We have a good selection of water butts in stock

Get creative in the kitchen

Use a bowl in the sink to wash your fruit, veg and dishes. Plus you can use the leftover water to give your plants a drink or wash the patio!

Irrigation System

Please check with your local water company  – However this is allowed with Thames Water, as long as you’re using an approved drip or trickle irrigation watering system. It must be fitted with a pressure reducing valve and a timer, that are not handheld. They must place water drip by drip directly onto or beneath the soil surface. It must not cause surface run off or dispersion of water through the air using a jet or mist.
