Here’s a really inexpensive way to save an afternoon’s rainfall: attach a Garden Water Saver to your downspout.  Instead of the water pouring off into the ground, it’ll pop nicely into a your chosen container until the container is full, whereupon it’ll shut off and let the water go back down the spout.  An hour’s moderate rain is good for about 100 liters, which would put a nice glow on your garden during the hosepipe bans.  $20.  [GT]
