     I have only been gardening seriously for about six months. Is there such thing as a wall storage water container that attachs to wall and can be linked to guttering above. My garden is to small for more space saver water butts of which I have one currently.The water soon runs out with this, hence my question. I thought of using the down pipe which drains away waste house water but it may be a better proposition to use a wall tank. Any suggestions welcome.Thanks all !!

    Water is rather heavy and any significant amount might do your wall a mischief.  Can you really not fit this in?

    Waste house water is OK but gets a bit whiffy and full of bacterta if left in hot weather .

    And no matter how many water butts you have you will soon run out so they are better than nothing but the company supply often has to be used.

    How about these? http://www.waterbuttsdirect.co.uk/spacesaving.htm scroll down to the 750 litres ones at the bottom. That's Huuge!
