Water tanks are large containers designed to collect and store rainwater for future use. They are often placed in the garden or backyard and connected to a downspout or gutter system to collect rainwater. They can be used for watering plants, washing cars or even cleaning outdoor furniture.
Composting is the natural decomposition of organic materials into nutrient-rich soil amendments. A dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling substance is produced as a result of composting. The compost pile is filled with microorganisms that feed on the materials added during the composting process.
Composting requires the balance of the following materials:
- Water (moisture).
- Oxygen
- Carbon-rich materials, such as dry leaves, plant stalks, and twigs.
- Nitrogen-rich materials, such as food scraps and grass clippings
Composters are useful for collecting organic material such as grass clippings, food scraps and other plant material, which can be decomposed and used as a natural fertiliser for gardens and other plants. Composters help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill while providing a natural source of nutrients for gardens and plants.
Chop and break up the carbon-rich materials and nitrogen-rich materials before adding them to the pile. Doing so will help the materials in the pile break down faster.
We recommend the Rainsaver Water Butt which is supplied complete with a stand, rain diverter and tap. This compact rain saver kit ensures the collection of rainwater so that you can use it in the garden or with houseplants.
A good recommendation is the PVC Water Butt 200L which is complete with a stand, tap and child-safe lock. This product has been manufactured from injection moulded polypropylene.
Its slim-line design is ideal for gardens where space is limited. We recommend you use its downpipe diverter for increased effectiveness when collecting water. This product is manufactured from 100% recycled plastic, making it a truly economically friendly product. Therefore, it is approved under our Project Kaiyo™ initiative, accomplishing one or more of our environmentally friendly objectives.
Another great choice is our 220 Litre Composter which has a strong, simple and rigid construction. This product has an extra wide hatch that allows for easy removal of finished compost. This composter features a push-fit windproof lid, is made from recycled plastic, and is also approved under our Project Kaiyo™ initiative.
Use our Water Butt Stand, which is made of strong polyurethane and is capable of supporting an overfilled water butt. You should use it with a 100 and 200-litre water butt.
We also offer Water Butt Down Pipe Kits. This product is made from a flexible UV-stabilised polyurethane and is supplied with a down pipe clamp and rainwater feed tube. It suits 100, 200 and 350-litre water butts.
