Hosepipe Ban Warnings: How to Keep Your Garden Alive Without Breaking the Rules

With parts of the UK already under hosepipe bans and the West Midlands being urged to cut back on water use, many gardeners are asking the same question: How do I keep my garden alive without risking a fine?

Under a Temporary Use Ban (TUB), you can’t use a hosepipe or sprinkler from mains water, but you can use watering cans or buckets filled with harvested rainwater. This makes now the perfect time to install a Rainwater Terrace water butt.

  • Avoid £1,000 fines – stay within the law

  • Water your plants daily – even under restrictions

  • Slash your water bills – every drop from your butt is free


👉 Shop Rainwater Terrace Water Butts and get drought-ready before the next heatwave hits.
