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
