Because we have been experiencing a 10 year drought (which has just broken) in Australia, everybody was putting in tanks. As a result of the demand, all different sorts of tanks have been developed. Long, thin, tall ones to fit down the sideway of a house. Different colours. Plastic and corrugated iron. Definitely a tank as well as the wonderful pond and creek bed.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577208643431414375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651048884558609746.post-58993073019146501792011-02-01T21:59:59.835+02:002011-02-01T21:59:59.835+02:00Yup the rain barrels are ugly.

We have had no rain at all in January, and those tanks will keep pots and fussy plants going till autumn and rain. In summer we use all our grey water in the garden.<br /><br />We have a pond and swales to absorb winter's floods. But erm that winter rain in the pond is not going last into summer, unless your pond is large, like a farm dam? But the pond will delight you and the wildlife which is just WAITING for the water to arrive!Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651048884558609746.post-29114352412624166892011-01-21T21:51:40.846+02:002011-01-21T21:51:40.846+02:00Will definitely post something soon on appalachian...Will definitely post something soon on appalachianfeet.<br /><br />Thanx for some more thumbs up, Mark & Eliza.garden girl in SAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684429162780759994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651048884558609746.post-84818525859597160192011-01-21T19:29:53.222+02:002011-01-21T19:29:53.222+02:00I love hearing about people finding better ways to...I love hearing about people finding better ways to irrigate -- good for you!
