Here in France we have had rain, rain and more rain. All the water butts are full (as are all the fields, rivers, veg patch - u get the picture!). What does everyone do with the water once the butts are full but not needed yet? Seems a waste not to store it as we are still being told its gonna be a hot summer and hose pipes bans will be enforced again.

You could maybe do what I have which is to buy more butts. Also, now is the time to mulch, mulch and mulch again. Keep the water where it's needed.
