Watering ban: How to keep your garden well-watered even during dry spells
In many regions, a ban on watering has now become a standard measure during prolonged dry spells. Falling water levels and persistently high temperatures mean that the use of tap water in the garden is restricted or prohibited. This raises the question for garden owners of how they can continue to provide their plants with sufficient water.
A simple and immediately implementable solution is to use rainwater. Even when it is dry at the moment, the next rain shower usually arrives sooner than expected. This water can be collected efficiently and stored for the next dry spell.
Rainwater barrels are particularly useful when there’s a watering ban. They can be easily connected to the downpipe and are ready for use straight away with minimal effort. The next time it rains, you can collect this valuable water and use it later in the garden. This allows you to remain flexible whilst ensuring you use water sustainably.
Rainwater is ideal for watering as it is soft and contains no limescale. Plants benefit from this natural source of water, whilst at the same time saving on drinking water.

Planning for the long term
Anyone wishing to be independent of watering restrictions in the long term might consider installing a rainwater tank. For short-term and flexible use, however, a rain barrel is the quickest and easiest way to make efficient use of rainwater.
