Simple ideas are always the best ones. Be interesting to see how long it takes to fill a bucket. With the rain today, about 5 minutes I'd guess!Comment

Love this idea!Definitely going to be putting this into practice bm.
Now can you just figure out an easy (read automatic, lol) way to get the water from the buckets into the water butts that are at least a foot higher.

I don't know GG, I'll just be pouring the water straight into a watering can, It'll be quicker than filling from the water butt. I'll use the water butt when the buckets are empty.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

A Quick Question
It is working so well that I am having difficulty keeping up to emptying the buckets so have had a thought........
would it cause any problem if I was to run an overflow pipe from each bucket through the netting onto the beds or would it be beneficial.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Assuming that the beds are soil, any excess water should drain away. Maybe keep the inlet pipes away from the plants so that you don't wash away the soil from the roots.
It must be very wet where you are!!!Comment
