but how you get hold of them before they have been tarted up and priced up, I dunno.... |
I'd just spotted this one too, but aren't they dear? I mean, I can get a 190 L water butt from Bournemouth & West Hampshire water, complete with lid, tap, stand and water diverter for 30 quid including delivery, and here they are selling a used container with no stand or diverter for 27. As for the giant tanks, 163 quid, ouch! You certainly don't save water to save money! |

Also, try the local council, ours sold off a load of water butts and composters cheap in a car park sale, manned by local sixth formers - the still do composters (one of which I have) but I can't find the water butts (which I kicking myself for not buying at the time!) |
Our council doesn't seem to. The water authority (Bournemouth and South Hampshire) do, and in fact, for a normal water butt, their price is quite good - £30 including lid, stand, tap and rain diverter. Anyhow, I'll see how this ebay thing goes (anyone thinking of buying it from the chap in Poole, I saw it first! ), and if I don't get it, then he seems to have lots for sale at £49.99 (1000 L, so about 4 normal water butts). |
