Free irrigation water

Many councils now charge their residents for water use. At around $1.00 per thousand litres, irrigating your beautifully maintained garden can be expensive. Thousands of litres of fresh rainwater flows from your roof into stormwater drains every year, so why not catch some of it to water your garden? A Rainwater harvesting system may not provide 100% of the water you need, but it will certainly reduce your monthly water bill.
