My allotment site GH Community Garden has a rainwater harvesting system which uses a solar powered pump to extract water from a well, store it in tanks & then feed troughs by gravity It’s an excellent system of irrigation. Water companies may provide funding for similar operations🌦💧

And that folks, is why I do what I do. Because community gardening rocks and changes the world for the better!! #shoutyhalfhour #GardenersWorld

Right let’s be serious for a couple of moments....... Up and down the country thousands of people work, often voluntarily, like me, to create beautiful, productive gardens in and with their communities. Improving lives by improving the local environment.
