Hi 🙂 Thanks for watching. I got the filter from eBay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195883810858?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=uv-zkhrnqly&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=sqtbV5n1QB2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY they're designed for IBC's - and my other half cut the hole in the lid for me! I think he used one of those circular drill bit saws.

No worries - the hose pipes didn't work very well in the end - not enough pressure for the water to flow out so I'm going to be replacing it with a single larger flexible hose!

Wonderful Summer tour. Your garden looks so pretty. The blue/purple Delphinium is my favourite. I really struggle growing them from seed unfortunately. The Veronica is also another favourite of mine and looks beautiful in your border. The wall looks like it has always been there and is perfect. Thank you for sharing 🌻
@scattywoo2 ай бұрын
Thanks very much 😊 I do like that bluey purple colour too. I just sowed way more delphiniums than I needed and hoped a few made it through! 🤞🏻 Thank you! I wasn't too sure about that wall! 😁 🧱 🌻

You certainly pack a big punch in your little garden. It looks very pretty. We lost a tree to Lillian, it was a very old elder full of ivy already leaning, I was expecting to lose it but probably in winter. I love how much you grow from seed. Greenhouse envy 😅 Thanks for the tour.

Hi Tracey, thanks very much 🙂 Oh no! that's a pain - always worse when there's a storm when the trees are full of leaves - was a challenge driving to work that morning and the neighbours trees were banging on our roof (they need pruning!).

My advice in future would be to buy some 40mm push fit waste pipe and a tank connector so you can run it into the nearest drain if you have one. That way if the tank gets overwhelmed during a heavy downpour it’ll be less likely to overflow as the diameter of the pipe will be able to carry more flow rate. Think when I did mine I used a 48mm hole saw for the tank connector itself because the thread was slightly larger than the pipe connection. Best of luck 👍🏻
