Hello all
We have recently taken over a plot on our local allotment. It is rather overgrown, but does benefit from some established fruit bushes and a shed. The shed has been used to divert rainwater into an old water tank and a blue barrel both open to the elements.
My question is whether I should use this water.
The water doesn't smell however it has sediment in it (and a few dead snails)
Does the fact that it gets topped up every time it rains make it ok to use. Or is any old rainwater potentially harmful?!?
Thanks

as HM says, fine for established plants.
