If you’re thinking about a hosepipe, you’ll want to look at how big your garden is, as the hose will need to reach around the entire area and have a bit of length to spare.

A water butt is a tank connected to the downpipe of your house and collects rainwater via this pipe. By collecting rainwater, a water butt can save you money on your water bills, reduce your impact on the environment and allow you to keep your garden growing during periods of drought.
Not sure where to start when it comes to water butts? We have a great guide to help you pick and fit one with ease.

If you’ve a large garden, an automatic system is the perfect solution. They use a network of small tubes to carry water straight from the tap or water butt right to where it’s needed, keeping water wastage to a minimum and your plants and flowers looking great all year round. You can even use a timer to make sure your garden is watered regularly without you having to lift a hand.
These automatic systems are also available with different nozzles, making them perfect for a variety of jobs – adjustable droppers drip water at root level, while micro jets will send a fine spray through foliage. Mini sprinklers are simply a smaller version of a lawn sprinkler, while misters are great for using in greenhouses.
