Stewart Garden helps to harvest rainwater with their 190 Litre Black Oak Effect Water Butt
With the UK recently being hit by torrential weather, it is vital for us to make the best use of rain water. Stewart Garden, the gardening products division of UK manufacturer, Stewart, has the 190 Litre Black Oak Effect Water Butt, which is ideal for smaller gardens to harvest rainwater.
Water butts collect rainwater, which is then used to water the garden. Stewart Garden water butts feature a secure childproof lid and an easy-to-use tap for filling watering cans, making them safe for children to use.
BBC Gardeners’ Question Time panellist and BBC Gardeners’ World columnist, Pippa Greenwood said, “With its traditional look and the charm of its bigger cousin, the 190 Litre Oak Effect Water Butt is perfect for smaller gardens and allows you to harvest rain in the smallest of spaces.”
The new Stewart Garden 190 Litre Oak Effect Water Butt fits into existing Stewart Garden water butt stands.
The SRSP (suggested retail selling price) for the Stewart Garden 190 Litre Oak Effect Water Butt is £59.99.
