Hi All,
Possibly not the main topic but I'm thinking about an issue I had this year and wondered if you had any suggestions.
I have a bed by a fence that grows well but it gets very dry during the summer because of the neighbours bushes and trees behind the fence. Across a patch from this I have a shed and a smaller bore downpipe that runs down to the ground to a gravel path behind the shed - along the fence. Water being wasted!
There is no room for a water butt - I'd need a big one anyway to take a shed's worth of water - so how can I run off the water straight from the down pipe across this bed evenly [and maybe on to the next bed?]. I'd need a widish bore pipe connection that would stay on and then linking to a water dispersal system like a very leaky hose. This can sit across the path as it's not often walked on.
Has anyone done something like this that I can copy?
