Just a quick video to show the 1000 litre (263 US gallon) rain water harvesting system I’ve installed in the lower vegetable garden.
It is a 1000 litre IBC tank (intermediate bulk container) and there is a secret 250 litre pond underneath it to provide habitat for frogs, toads and newts which will hopefully act as a natural pest control service for the inevitable slugs, caterpillars and snails which are a perennial problem (I don’t like to use chemical pest control).
The pond is from Oase and can be found here: https://geni.us/W9XCbq
The price of these ponds has almost doubled in the last 3 years so I’m glad I bought it ages ago while on offer. (I plan well ahead, lol)

Thanks for watching – check out the playlist on my channel for more gardening / hydroponics / self sufficiency videos.
