How are all you gardeners coping with hosepipe ban?
6 Answers
I have so many vegetables and special shrubs I'm trying to keep alive, but even using grey water and lugging endless watering cans around, it's hard work. Think I'll need a total back transplant by the end of summer ! And why should the Government get the large fine levied on Thames Water? Shouldn't that money be spent on speeding up the repair of all the leaking pipes?

Hi WendyS, I know just how you feel! You, know it beats me how you can hose down your patio, when a good stiff broom would probably do but if you splash some water on your hollyhocks, you can land yourself in trouble with the law!
So far I've lost 4 varieties of thyme, I feel a rain dance coming on. All the Best. T bird+

I'm with Essex and Suffolk, and so far, no ban, but i'm preparing, got three butts attached to the conservatory, a shed in the middle of the garden, and one at the other end, and am going to put butts on them as well.
I think the behaviour of Thames Water is disgusting, but then again, all they are interested in is taking the profits out of the country, Shouldn't be allowed.

I have a little sympathy with Water Boards who have a lot of old pipes. They have a thankless job. Pipes leak. Company mends pipes. Water pressure goes up, which causes pipes to leak somewhere else. And the washers in my old taps to leak (and yes, I did buy some new taps but they didn't last 5 minutes). Maybe they should be allowed to get on with the replacement programme and ignore small leaks.
