Today it has been raining, a lot! As I haven’t been able to get outside to do anything ‘wild’ I have been sat at my computer planning on how to help the wild. There isn’t a water butt in the patch garden, so this evening I have ordered one! The house is a little odd in that all of the down pipes are in really awkward locations; the water is going to have to be collected off of the garage roof so the water butt can be located away from major walkways. This however means I need to repair part of the guttering and clean the rest of it out. I was looking at it the other day and there is grass growing in it, so I don’t think it is going to be the easiest of tasks. I want to get it sorted though so I can make the most of collecting rain water and using it in the garden. Every little bit helps 🙂
