The main constraint is that we don't have a ton of space to put many tanks. I know that they make slimline tanks, but still seems like pretty low volume stuff, which I wonder how long would last with regular watering of our garden over the summer.
Better do some calculations to see what might be possible :)
We saw that when looking at fitting tanks. I guess it depends on projected water useage, and therefore the storage needed.
I guess a simple test will be watering your beds with a watering can, counting the useage, then that’ll give you what you’d need to store. Of course watering is very much based on the number of days needed, which is then driven by the weather.
Tough call eh?
Yeah, exactly - will need to do some quick maths :)
I guess even if we only manage a smaller than needed solution, its still something.
